Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Ukd-Marlin

The crew of the 'UKD Marlin' believed that they witnessed an undiscovered World War II bomb explode in the Humber on May 7, 2020. The were were completing routine maintenance dredging of the Humber, when they heard a loud bang and saw a plume in the water. It was thought that a small very old device which was covered by silt and sand detonated, followed by up welling of water around 40 metres off her port side, just before starting dredging Immingham Approaches. There was no damage or injury to anyone involved. The ABP Humber’s survey team have now carried a detailed survey of the area before any further dredging is resumed.
