Ramsey’s Mersey class RNLI lifeboat, the RNLB Ann and James Ritchie, was launched at around midday yesterday (Thursday 14th March) to go to the assistance of a fishing vessel in Ramsey Bay.
The lifeboat arrived on scene, about two mile east of Ramsey, by 12:20. The Fraserburgh registered vessel, which had steering gear failure, was secured and taken safely under tow by the lifeboat to Ramsey Harbour, arriving at around 13:00. Ramsey Lifeboat then returned to Station.
