| Good morning, A nuclear-powered submarine and a ferry were at “serious risk of collision” after safety decisions taken on the Royal Navy vessel were based on inaccurate information, an investigation has found. The two vessels came within 50-100 metres of each other west of the Rhins of Galloway on 6 November, 2018, a Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report stated today. The MAIB and the Royal Navy both refused to say whether the submarine involved was one of the four nuclear-armed Trident vessels based at Faslane. The submarine was patrolling an area south of the ferry route when it came close to the Stena vessel, which had 215 passengers and 67 crew on board.
