Thirty-five people were injured following a capsizing incident at a shipyard in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Wednesday. A large ship, the RV Petrel, tilted approximately 45 degrees within the Leith dry dock. The Scottish emergency service dispatched five ambulances, aeromedical evacuation teams, three teams of traumatologists, a group of special operations, three teams of paramedics, and a patient transportation vehicle to the scene. Additionally, rescue teams from the Coast Guard, including units from Fisherrow, South Queensferry, and Kinghorn, were deployed. The Scottish fire and rescue service sent four fire engines and specialists. Twenty-three people were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary (ERI), and twelve received medical care on-site. Fifteen people were transported to hospitals, while ten received treatment at the incident location. The 3,000-ton ship, formerly owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, had been laid up for long-term storage since 2020 due to operational problems during the coronavirus pandemic. Prior to this, the Petrel was utilized for deep-sea searches, including the recovery of the USS Indianapolis, a World War II heavy cruiser located at a depth of 5.5 kilometers. The vessel was equipped for specialized searches as of 2018 before Paul Allen’s death.
