The wreck of the fishing vessel Nicola Faith, which tragically sank off the coast of Conwy, Wales, on January 27, 2021, has been donated to Cranfield University in Bedfordshire. This donation comes from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) following a detailed investigation into the incident that claimed the lives of three men. The wreck will serve as a crucial educational tool, allowing students to engage in simulated accident investigations based on real-life scenarios. The MAIB aims to enhance maritime safety through this initiative, with the vessel set to be renamed Pisces II to replace the older training vessel, Pisces. Chief Inspector Rob Loder emphasized the importance of using the wreck for training, acknowledging the tragic circumstances that led to its acquisition but expressing hope that it will contribute positively to future safety training.
