A Turkish tanker under the control of a tired and ill pilot left a UK jetty severely damaged, an accident report has found.

The 11,253-dwt product carrier Ali Ka (built 202) hit Oikos Jetty 2 on the River Thames in the early hours of 25 October 2022.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said the Malta-flag ship made contact with the westernmost section of the structure, causing minor damage to its hull.
