Yes, we heard that broadcast on the VHF last night/this morning, seconds before we had to call in to report our engine failure on the home stretch of our Night Navigation Exercise at 0130hrs. We got to bed about 0530hrs after the Trent class lifeboat towed us back to our turnaround point at the other end of the estuary, ie away from our home port which we were only 3Nm from. Ah well, a good adventure for the crew! And well done and thanks to the crew of the ILB and Trent boats.

I wouldn't cancel any dives over this or anything - it's the control room staff going on strike and there are replacement people being brought in from other MCA branches.

I shouldn't imagine that the strike will in any way be allowed to affect seafarer safety.
