Fisherman fell into hold
A fisherman on board the "Charmel" which was alongside the Railway Pier at Oban fell some 12 feet from the shelter deck of the vessel into the hold on June 30, 2012. Local ambulance personnel attended to him, strapping him into a stretcher but were unable easily to land him on the pier so the lifeboat was requested to launch and took him aboard over the transom. She then took the injured man to the lifeboat berth from where the ambulance took him to Oban Hospital. The whole incident took the lifeboat only 30 minutes and she was ready for service again at 5.09 a.m.
