​ALB
Returning from exercise at 13:15 the crew noticed that the 65 foot MV was lying broadside to the inner cut mouth but in the outer harbour. The MV was having difficulties manoeuvring in shallow water and after striking the pontoon there was a likelihood of damaging other vessels.
It was agreed with the LOM to offer assistance, he asked for a tow back to the inner harbour.
A tow was established and with all the safety precautions taken the casualty was successfully freed and able to berth under own power.
ALB rehoused.
