On Sunday, September 29, Angle RNLI’s crew were tasked to assist a 25ft power vessel suffering machinery failure and adverse weather conditions off the South Hook LNG Terminal.

Launching in a force 8 easterly winds averaging 45 knots, the lifeboat was soon on scene. The Harbour Patrol had the vessel in tow but was making little headway with the conditions. The lifeboat soon passed a tow to the casualty vessel and with options of a safe haven limited due to weather, a course was set for Hobbs Point, Pembroke Dock to seek shelter.

After a tow of around an hour, the vessel was left safely alongside the pontoon at Hobbs Point. The lifeboat was stood down and returned to the jetty at Milford Haven.
