Two vessels were dispatched to the scene. One laid out booms around the Lotty while the other began to removal of the remaining fuel on board the Lotty.  Initial investigations found some 350 litres of diesel fuel had been released. No reports of injuries.  Reports state the Lotty will be salvaged.
