On June 6, the 16 meter long fishing vessel Emma Louise became disabled off Newlyn Harbour, Cornwall.  The crabber had developed a fault in its steering gear and was unable to maneuver.  The vessel requested assistance with the RNLI lifeboat from Newyln responding.  The lifeboat was quickly able to connect a towline to the Emma Louise and proceeded back to Newlyn.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
