RNLI boats attending disabled cargo ship off Skerrvore
On Apr 12, 2014, just before 10.30 a.m. the Stornoway
Coastguard was alerted by VHF to the "Wilson Gdynia"
which had lost steerage enroute from Muuga to Fallafoss
approximately 20 miles west of Skerryvore Lighthouse,
South West of Tiree.
The Stornoway Coastguard located the vessel, and the Barra RNLI
lifeboat was launched at 11.37 a.m.
The lifeboat remained on standby.
The eight crew members remain on board the cargo vessel.
The vessel was transporting wood chips.
The Tobermory RNLI lifeboat
launched shortly after 6 p.m. to take over from Barra Island
lifeboat. The cargo ship had power but lost steerage and was
drifting 20 miles west of the remote lighthouse at Skerryvore
in winds if six beaufort and in seven metre seas.
A tug was being despatched from Aberdeen to tow the vessel to
safety but was not expected to be on scene until later on Apr 13.
Given that the ship was drifting in a north westerly direction
and was not in danger of encountering any hazards at present,
the Stornoway Coastguard stood down the Tobermory lifeboat at
daybreak. | Bron vesseltracker.com 13-4-2014
