While crew were carrying out routine training, they were made aware by a member of the public at 20:40 that a vessel had engine difficulty at Stanierds point. Our lifeboats were then tasked to assist and made best speed to the casualty vessel. 

The lifeboat arrived on scene and checked the condition of all onboard, connected a towline and brought the casualty vessel into the Battery harbour where it was safely tied to the jetty with the assistance of our awaiting shore crew. 

The lifeboat stood down and was made ready for the next tasking.
