	Herald of Free Enterprise car rerry disaster
		It soon became apparent to the rescuers that the Herald of Free Enterprise had left the port of Zeebrugge with her bow doors open.
		The Herald of Free Enterprise, like her sister ships Pride of Free Enterprise and Spirit of Free Enterprise, was a modern ro-ro passenger/vehicle ferry designed for use on the high-volume short Dover-Calais ferry route.
		When the Herald left Zeebrugge on March 6, 1987, not all the water had been pumped out of the bow ballast tanks, causing her to be some 3 feet down at the bow.

		M/S Herald of Free Enterprise was a roll-on roll-off (RORO) car and passenger ferry that capsized on March 6, 1987, killing 193 passengers.
		As she turned the water all flooded to one side: this is known as the 'free surface effect' and causes the centre of gravity to move past the centre of buoyancy.
		Following the sinking, the Herald was raised and renamed "Flushing Range" for a final one-way trip to Alang, India, where she was broken up in 1988.

	Herald's owner to sell suburban papers; deal is put at $225m - The Boston Globe
		Enterprise is the publisher of the Patriot Ledger of Quincy, the Enterprise of Brockton, and a number of South Shore weeklies.
		But even with the support of the suburban papers, the Herald was facing a challenging environment, given the dominance of The Boston Globe and consolidation of major retailers, which are key newspaper advertisers, said Lou Ureneck, a professor of business and economics journalism at Boston University.
		Enterprise NewsMedia is also controlled by a private equity firm, Heritage Partners Inc. of Boston, which bought a majority stake for $113 million in 2003.

	Amid cuts, Herald loses newsroom veterans - The Boston Globe
		Two months after Boston Herald publisher Patrick J. Purcell said he was seeking deep newsroom cuts in an effort to find $7 million in savings at the financially troubled tabloid, a massive exodus is in full swing -- one that involves some of the paper's best known and most seasoned journalists.
		According to Herald managers and union officials, 30 to 35 of the 145 unionized newsroom staff members have already left or are expected to leave soon.
		The buyout packages offered by the Herald gave its departing journalists a monetary settlement based largely on their years of service at the company.

	Herald of Free Enterprise Dover Kent
		I worked as a catering boy on board the Pride of Free Enterprise, which was one of the three Spirit Class Vessels that sailed out of the Port of Dover.
		The roll-on roll-off passenger car ferry Herald of Free Enterprise capsized in the approaches to the Belgian port of Zeebrugger as she sailed to Dover at 7.05pm local time on March 6, 1987.
		From all of the stages of this disaster my most haunting memory was when the Pride of Free Enterprise took up the Dover to Zeebrugger run and we sailed past the Herald lying on her side.

		The Herald of Free Enterprise lies on her side.
		Photograph: PA Twenty years ago today, the Herald of Free Enterprise set out from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge on its crossing to Dover.
		But increasingly, designers of future ships are working towards what is known as the "citadel concept", in which passengers can be herded into safe sections of damaged ships, and the vessel itself has sufficient inbuilt buoyancy to stay afloat in an emergency.

	Sister ship of 'Herald of Free Enterprise' had been judged unsafe - Independent Online Edition > Middle East
		The ferry involved in the Red Sea sinking was the sister ship of the ill-fated Herald of Free Enterprise, which sank in 1987 off the coast of Belgium with the loss of nearly 200 lives.
		Originally called the Free Enterpise IV and one of eight similar vessels operated by Townsend Thoresen, it had been "pensioned off to the Third World".
		Andrew Linington of Numast, the British ships' officers union, said that, under European regulations introduced after the Herald of Free Enterprise sinking it would be illegal to operate either vessel in Europe.

		The theories presently being put forward that the vessel was a sister ship to the ill fated Herald of Free Enterprise and, therefore, might have sunk for a similar reason are simply not true.
		It was not a sister ship to the Herald of Free Enterprise, nor to the Pride of Al Salam 95 that sank in 2005, after a cargo vessel had ripped a large hole in its side.
		It started life as the Townsend Thoresen’s Free Enterprise VI and was a sister ship to the Free Enterprise VII.

		In the case of the Herald of Free Enterprise the obvious aggregation of both operating and systematic failures was considered unsafe as it was not possible to attribute all to individuals.
		Following the Herald of Free Enterprise Disaster the Law Commission issued report 237 on the strengthening of the laws concerning corporate responsibility.

	Lack of Diversity Sinks Ships (and Hospitals) - May 5, 2004
		Our superspecialized silos have grown up over the years in such a way that communication of critical information often fails to occur, and key caregivers are unable to provide the best possible patient outcome.
		Just like in the needless sinking of the Herald of Free Enterprise, this letter demonstrates how patient safety can be compromised, even with the best of intentions.
		Failures of communication, absence of teamwork and lack of appropriate leadership are probably responsible for the majority of patient safety mistakes that occur in hospitals across the country.

		Stuart Crainer's book, which is published by the charity set up by the families of the victim, is both an investigation of institutional responsibility for the disaster and an examination of the lessons that have been learnt, or should have been learnt.
		The immediate cause of the disaster was that the Herald of Free Enterprise sailed out of Zeebrugge with its bow doors open.

	Perspectives in Responsible Sourcing: September 17, 2006 - September 23, 2006
		In 1987, the Herald of Free Enterprise, a ferry sailing between Zeebrugge and Dover, sank near the Zeebrugge harbor.
		The Herald of Free Enterprise was one of a number of tragedies that occurred in the UK at around the same time where a company was clearly responsible for a fatal accident but was not held liable due to the legal framework.
		In other words, the company must have contributed to the point that it influenced the outcome in some way, and nothing can have happened between what the company did and the death to change the course of events to the point that the company's act couldn't be shown to influence the outcome somehow.

		The subsequent prosecution of the owners of the ferry failed on the important point that no single person could be found responsible for all the mistakes which combined to cause the sinking.
		Pressure by the Herald Charitable Trust on behalf of the Herald Families Association for a change in the law to make companies corporately responsible was at first resisted but following other disasters such as the Marchioness the Law Commission set up study and reported in 1996.
		Following the Herald of Free Enterprise Disaster the Law Commission issued report No 237 on the strengthening of the laws concerning corporate responsibility.

		The sinking of the ferry the Herald of Free Enterprise at Zeebrugge in 1987 provides a good example.
