AEMC y varias fuentes.

Los catorce miembros de la dotación –no todos son marineros como dicen los medios españoles- han sido rescatados por un helicóptero de la Guardia Costera irlandesa.

El FV Fastnet tiene 33 m de eslora y fue construido en el año 2000. SE desconocen las causas por las que se produjo la parada de su motor principal, a la salida de puerto, y su deriva hacia los acantilados rocosos de Bínn Bán, Kerry.  

El estado de la mar era favorable y a visibilidad no era buena, por lo que las tareas de recate resultaron arriesgadas.

En los últimos años han sido muchos los pesqueros de armadores españoles que han sufrido accidentes graves en las aguas irlandesas.

Russian and Ukrainian sources report that Ukraine's covert operations agency has attacked another Russia-facing "shadow fleet" tanker in the Black Sea. If accurate, it would be the third strike on a foreign-flag tanker in a month by Ukraine's drone-boat units.  

The target vessel has been named as the Dashan (ex name Mianzimu, IMO 9299666), a 2005-built Suezmax of 165,000 dwt. According to Ukrainian accounts, the vessel was under way for Novorossiysk to take on a load of Russian oil. 

Dashan is associated with the former Gatik Ship Management fleet, and is sanctioned by the European Union and the UK for suspicious transactions involving Russian oil.
