A 52,000-tonne cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles that was deliberately grounded by its crew could have been hit by problems before the incident as a result of human error, it was claimed today.       

The pilot and master of the Hoegh Osaka took the decision to steer the ship onto a sandbank to prevent it from capsizing after it started 'severely' listing off the Isle of Wight on Saturday night.

An investigation has now been launched and Southampton port director, Nick Ridehalgh, from Associated British Ports said that it was possible that human error could be behind the incident which sparked a major search and rescue operation.
