My request relates to an incident involving an Irish authorised Type 2 Transporter at Harwich Port, UK. It is my understanding that on or about September 22, 2019 a transporter was stopped at Harwich as it was preparing to board a from Harwich. The transporter was an Irish registered transporter, the operator was trading under a business name. Based on information from the authorities here, we understand the incident involved unnamed Irish transporters who trading in the movement of horses from Ireland and England to the Netherlands and Belgium. They were authorised Type 2 transporters, with documentation from Ireland. My research indicates there were in excess of 18 horses on the vehicle. Information gathered suggests when detained, officers discovered at least 10 horses were travelling on false passports. I understand as a result of this incident it led to the suspension of the Type 2 authorisations for two transporters. I seek any information held by the Department about this incident, including any report from UK authorities on which the Department acted. If any of the details I supplied are slightly incorrect but substantively correct could you please advise me and I can correct and resubmit my query. I do not require any personal information or information which may identify a person, this means I do not require the authorisation number, registration number, name or address of the parties involved.

The Final Marine Surveyor report recommends at page 11 that Ganado Express should not depart if the weather forecast predicts winds of Force 6 or greater unless it is able to demonstrate roll periods of greater than 15 seconds. Page 3 of the report says that it was unable to demonstrate this in respect of its voyage from Greenore on 24th December 2022 - the roll period was less than 15 seconds. The final vet report recommends that Ganado Express should not depart if the weather forecast predicts winds of Force 6 or greater as sightings of previous voyages did not demonstrate that the roll period of 15 seconds could be reached. The Ganado Express needs to comply with section 10(4) of the Carriage of Livestock by Sea Regulations 2016 and cannot depart if the weather forecast predicts winds of Force 6 or greater, if it has a roll period of less than 15 seconds. Can I please have a copy of any documentation that demonstrates the Ganado Express has a roll period of greater than 15 seconds?
