Both the Ardboe and Kinnego lifeboats launched and proceeded to the Island.
Upon the lifeboats arrival to the Island the crew liaised with the casualties and assessed their vessel. It was decided that the casualties would be brought onboard the lifeboat and transferred to Maghery, whilst in Maghery they were handed into the care of the awaiting local Coastguard team. All LNR units returned to base.
