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 trawler Ocean Tiger became disabled near Upernavik, Greenland.  The Ocean Tiger’s main engine went dead after the turbocharger had suffered damage.   The vessel’s fire alarms went off as large amount of smoke was released in the engine room.   The Ocean Tiger’s main power supply also failed leaving the vessel dead in the water.  Another fishing vessel, Markus was nearby and was able to take the Ocean Tiger under tow.  Some 40 hours later, the two vessels arrived at Sisimiut.   No reports of injuries.   Reports state the damage is between 1.5 and 2 million Danish Crowns.
