The 44 meter long fishing vessel Andre Leduc became disabled just prior before entering Peterhead Harbour, Scotland. The Andre Leduc had lost power after an engine failure. The RNLI lifeboat responded to the scene while the Leduc’s crew restarted the engine. The lifeboat escorted the fishing vessel into the harbour. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released.
The trawler Tavener went aground twice on a single day. The Tavener first went aground off the entrance to the Colne River, England. The vessel was able to refloat itself when the tide changed. The Tavener went aground later that day off the entrance of the Blackwater River near Tollesbury, England. The vessel was contacted by the RNLI lifeboat from West Mersea who found the two crew on the Tavener were safe. The Walton RNLI lifeboat was requested the next day to assist in refloating the trawler, but it was decided to wait a few days for favorable tides.
The RNLI lifeboats rescued two trawlers that became disabled. The Islay and Campbeltown lifeboats were dispatched to the trawler Rambling Rose which was disabled after its engine failed while off the Island of Gigha, Scotland. The Rambling Rose was later able to restart its engine and proceeded to Kennacraig escorted by the Campbeltown lifeboat. The Tobermory lifeboat was dispatched to the aid of the trawler Gangwarily. The Gangwarily had suffered engine failure while off Gunna Sound, Tiree. The Tobermory lifeboat took the trawler under tow and proceeded to Arinagour. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution being released in either incident.
