The UK's high-profile new polar research ship has returned to the Cammell Laird shipyard for checks after a problem with a lifeboat.

UK accident investigators revealed in March that two crew members were injured during a lifeboat drill on the 15,600-gt Sir David Attenborough (built 2021).

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said the seafarers were trapped inside the boat when it rolled on to its side during a launching test at Loch Buie, Scotland.
