Fish farm vessel assisted distressed fishing vessel
The "Orcadia II" and the volunteer crew of the Oban RNLI Lifeboat, "Mora Edith Macdonald" responded to a fishing vessel with a fouled propeller close to Inversanda Bay in Loch Linnhe on Feb 21, 2017. Due to the strengthening southerly winds the Stornoway Coastguard transmitted a Pan Pan broadcast to request assistance from vessels in the area until the lifeboat arrived on scene. As the lifeboat was proceeding to the area thefish farm support vessel dispatched a workboat to assist the drifting vessel. The lifeboat arrived on scene at 1.50 p.m. and quickly passed a tow line and drogue. The fishing vessel was then taken in tow to a mooring in the Sound of Shuna, where the vessel was secured shortly before 3 p.m.
