Assvik adrift in Bristol Channel

The "Aasvik" suffered engine failure 8,5 miles south east of Tenbyand went adrift in the Bristol Channel in the afternoon of Feb 1, 2016 in stormy weather. The vessel drifted in western direction. Tenby’s all-weather lifeboat launched just after 11 p.m. The crew of the vessel were attempting to deploy their anchor, but due to the swell and the risk of the vessel grounding if the anchor failed to hold, the lifeboat was requested. The Mumbles lifeboat was also put on stand-by. The lifeboat was soon on scene and stood by in rough seas as the crew of the casualty vessel secured the anchor. The ship finally dropped anchor west of Rhossili in the Swansea area. Once it was determined that the anchor was holding successfully, the lifeboat was stood down by Milford Haven Coastguard, arriving back at the station at 12.30 a.m. Reports with photo and video: http://rnli.org/NewsCentre/Pages/Tenbys-all-weather-lifeboat-launched-to-assist-94m-vessel.aspx http://www.tenby-today.co.uk/article.cfm?id=102586&headline=Tenby%20lifeboat%20launched%20to%20aid%20cargo%20vessel§ionIs=news&searchyear=2016
