Fishing vessel disabled off Pembrokshire

Angle RNLI’s all weather lifeboat was alerted on May 27, 2018, at the request of the UK Coastguard, after the "Wilmar - O 154" had suffered a complete engine failure off the South Pembrokeshire coast. The 207-ton-vessel with four people on board, was approximately eight miles south-south-west of St Ann’s Head. The Tamar class lifeboat "Mark Mason" was launched at 7.16 a.m. and arrived on scene at 8.02 a.m. Soon after, a tow was rigged and a course was set for Milford Docks. On arrival, the fishing vessel was placed on a tug mooring in the East Angle Bay, as there was insufficient water to allow entry into the Docks. The lifeboat was then released and returned to its station, where it was rehoused at 11.50 a.m., after over 4,5 hours at sea.
