A cargoship grounded off the UK due to an insufficient length of anchor cable and an overwhelmed chief officer, an accident report has revealed.

The 2,400-dwt Islay Trader (built 1992) got stuck off Margate on 8 October last year after dragging its anchor.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said the Barbados-flagged vessel came to rest right next to one of Sir Anthony Gormley's sculptures of human figures.
