At 16.00Hrs HM Coastguard tasked Lough Neagh Rescue to check on the well-being of the warden on Coney Island, this was due to a late check-in from the island. Ardboe lifeboat launched and proceeded to the island and whilst on scene the crew quickly tracked down the warden who thankfully was ok. The warden was experiencing communication difficulties and the issue was in the process of being resolved.
When resolved Ardboe lifeboat was stood down and returned to base. Units which remained on stand-by also stood down.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
