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 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.
The 12 meter long trawler Arcturus became disabled near the entrance to the harbour of Eyemouth, Scotland. The trawler’s engine failed and the master contacted Forth Coastguard. The RNLI lifeboat from Eyemouth responded and took the Arcturus under tow into the harbour. None of the three crew on board were injured. The Arcturus was returning from a fishing trip before the engine failed. No reports of damage or pollution being released.
