This loss can occur rapidly, particularly when weather conditions or currents are severe. It is a critical situation that often requires swift action to regain control of the ship.

Causes of dragging anchor

July’s safety statistics from the Workboat Association covering 2013-2024 provided another example of the excellent work the UK body does to support best practice. In addition, the figures show a welcome continuous decline in ‘Total Exposure Hours’ to incidents from 2018 onwards, with 2023 numbers also half those logged in 2014.

However, many of those in charge of operating workboats in UK waters (whether they refer to themselves as Skipper, Captain, or Master)

Jan De Nul placed an order for Fleeming Jenkin at China’s CMHI Haimen shipyard in October 2023, followed by an order for another identical vessel, named William Thomson, in May the following year, deemed the largest CLVs in the world.

 

Fleeming Jenkin was launched in October 2025 by flooding the dry dock at the shipyard, marking the start of the final construction phase, to be followed by sea trials.
