A multi-agency operation took place on Sunday following a distress call from a vessel north of Bloody Foreland.
Bunbeg Coast Guard was tasked alongside Arranmore and the Dublin based Coast Guard Helicopter ‘Rescue116’ to assist the fishing vessel, believed to be transiting through the area.
It had began to take on water.
Search and rescue assets were also tasked by the team in Malin Head, who also broadcasted a call for assistance which was answered by the Queen of Aran Tory Island Ferry.
Water was pumped from the vessel, which was then escorted Magheroarty Harbour.
It would be the first call for the Bunbeg coast guard, who launched again following reports of two people cut off by the incoming tide at Irishcoole.
