Description
Over the past five years, port inspectors had identified 85 safety concerns with the cargo ship that sank off the Welsh coast with the loss of six crew. The programme also reveals the concerns raised by a former captain about the way that the Swanland was loaded. He feared it was putting undue strain on the hull. The ship sank in minutes after breaking apart in half in rough seas.
