LNR tasked at 20:25 by CGOC Belfast Coastguard to a 2m inflatable boat with 3 persons onboard having engine failure
Our lifeboats quickly located the casualty vessel near Tolan’s flat and took the 3 people onboard who were quite cold, they transferred them to Gawley’s Gate and handed into the care of the Lough Neagh Coastguard Rescue Team
Our other lifeboat on scene was able to tow the 2m vessel ashore where it was safely tied up at Gawley’s gate.
We would like to thank the member of the public who also alerted the coastguard.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
