The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) is currently investigating the circumstances that led to the sinking of the Strath Marie. The role of the MCIB, which is an independent body, is to investigate casualties such as this and to publish their findings. The MCIB will investigate all relevant matters pertaining to the sinking of the vessel. You will appreciate that it would be inappropriate for me to comment on any aspect of this case while it is still under investigation.
