A problem in the ballast system on the "Sea Breeze" led to the six-man crew having to be rescued in a major operation in the English Channel, the MAIB found out. With the engine room flooding, the crew of the ship took to the vessel's rescue boat and were picked up by the Falmouth Lifeboat. A lifeboat from the Lizard station in Cornwall as well as several vessels and a helicopter from the Royal Naval Air Station at Culdrose in Cornwall had responded to the ship's master's mayday, the report from the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said. In the incident in the early morning of Mar 9, 2014, salvage pumps were put on board from both of the lifeboats and the helicopter, but the water level in the engine room could not be controlled. The owners contracted salvors, who were able to stabilise the flooding and bring the vessel under tow. The MAIB said that the valve actuator gearbox on a sea water-isolating valve in the ballast system was defective so that someone operating the valve might believe the valve was shut when it was not. The report added that the valve-position indicator was working but it had not been checked prior to work being started on the ballast pump. When the pump was removed, the engine-room flooded. The MAIB said the Sea Breeze's master and chief engineer had been dismissed on Apr 7, 2014 for gross infringement of the vessel's safety management manual and unsuitability for the positions held. Their dismissals followed an internal report into the incident by the Sea Breeze's managers, the Shipmar company.
