Full Lamma Ferry Disaster Report Released

Lamma ferry disaster report

Over two years after it was completed and at 7.30pm on the eve of a public holiday, the Government finally releases the full Lamma ferry disaster report. Conducted by Justice Michael Lunn and Benjamin Tang JP and completed in April 2013 the full report makes depressing reading. The levels of incompetence, negligence and lack of basic nautical common sense of both boat’s captains is staggering. Collision avoidance at sea is simple – both boats turn to starboard (right). It’s such a basic rule of the sea, so that boat captains even when not being able to communicate know what the other boat will do.

The part of the report that deals with the Marine Department, boat regulation and inspection matches the levels of incompetence of the boat captains. But, it’s also very Hong Kong. If no written records are kept or written instructions given then no-one can lose face and be blamed if things go wrong / rules broken etc. It becomes a case of he said/ she said as all parties clamour to avoid responsibility.

The negligence of the boat captains of the Sea Smooth and the Lamma IV who both to different degrees are culpable was tragically magnified by the lack of safety equipment, simple crew failures, the construction of the boat and the failure of the Marine Department to properly inspect and enforce the relevant regulations.

hkfc-ice-vs-cwb-scrum-20161022

HKFC Ice kicked off against CWB Phoenix with an unintended late start at Kings Park courtesy of typhoon Haima. Ice had a noisy crowd of enthusiastic supporters there to cheer them on.

Rosie Hopewell-Fong led the girl’s from the start, implementing a pre-planned kicking strategy to exploit the space. The chasing backs earning Ice an early penalty. HKFC looked threatening, exerting pressure and keeping the ball deep in the CWB’s half. On 14 minutes, an excellent drive for the line by Rosie Hopewell-Fong opened the scoring.

CWB put together some fast passages of play and notable scrums from their forwards; however HKFC’s solid defence and some exceptional tackling from Crystal Wray on the wing prevented them from gaining the possession. With both sides kicking for territory and looking for a line break, the majority of action was in the middle of the pitch as the first half drew to close.

Ball and handling errors from both sides resulted in a few missed opportunities for HKFC. Two yellow cards were presented to CWB for foul play. Ice exploited their numerical advantage and Captain, Bobby Wilson scored a hard earned second try just before the whistle. Half-time 10-0.

After the break, CWB looked to pick-up the intensity of their game, as they did so though the errors started to creep in and several dropped balls and Ice took full advantage of CWB’s generosity as Bobby Wilson scored her second try of the afternoon, converted by Rosie Hopewell-Fong’s 17-0.

Exciting, yet scrappy game play at times from both teams fighting for their place. Ice made some changes with Angelina Cheung and Maggie Wong off replaced by Nina Pirie and Natalia Lech. Relentless pressure from CWB looking for a way back into the game was finally rewarded with a converted try.

With 5 minutes to go, more subs for HKFC; Jamie Ho for Stephanie Siu, Denise Chan off for Doris Chen and Amy Kong on for Royce Chan. These fresh legs combined to set up HKFC Ice’s Crystal Wray for a fourth try and surely seal the game with 3 minutes to go. CWB replied quickly penetrating a wide gap up the middle to secure a well deserved second converted try. Final score 22-14.
