Norwegian giant Mowi in the dock in Inverness Sheriff Court!

Norwegian giant Mowi is scheduled to appear in Inverness Sheriff Court on Tuesday (9 May 2023):

There does not appear to be any information publicly available yet on the criminal charges against Mowi but the case could be related to the corporate killing of Clive Hendry – who was killed in February 2020 at Mowi's Ardtinoul salmon farm in Loch Alsh.

Here's an email obtained via Freedom of Information from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency dated December 2021:

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch reported in December 2021 that another incident – involving the grounding and flooding of a tanker in March 2020 at Mowi's Kyleakin feed factory - "identified safety management issues at Mowi’s Kyleakin facility, including that the Port Marine Safety Code was not fully implemented". "Safety recommendations have been made to Mowi (Scotland) to ensure that operations at the Kyleakin facility are conducted in accordance with the Port Marine Safety Code, and to consider upgrading the area to Statutory Harbour Authority," reported MAIB.
