An accident investigation report has concluded that the sinking of the Swanland cargo ship off the north Wales coast in 2011 could have been avoided.
Six crew members were killed when the vessel sank in November 2011.
A Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report found several issues with the Swanland, which was carrying nearly 3,000 tonnes of limestone when it suffered a "structural failure" just 17 minutes after leaving Llanddulas for the Isle of Wight.
A MAIB spokesperson said: "This was a tragic and avoidable accident that cost the lives of six crew.
"Worldwide, between 2002 and 2011, nearly 250 cargo vessels foundered causing the deaths of more than 800 seafarers - statistics that bring into sharp focus the need for action to be taken to improve the safety of general cargo vessels."
