Shipping: MV Canna

Question
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the Maritime and Coastal Agency knew that the MV Canna, a ferry between Ballycastle and Rathlin, operated from 5 September 2008 to 11 September 2008 without a valid passenger certificate and with no insurance cover.
Answer

As in my answer of 29 June (Official Report, col. WA23) the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) became aware that the MV Canna was operating without a valid passenger certificate on 3 October 2008, while completing the annual survey. The MCA is not required to check insurance cover for this class of vessel.
