Lough Swilly lifeboat has come to the assistance of a fishing vessel 11 nautical miles off Fanad Head.
At 7:15 last evening, the lifeboat was tasked by Malin Head Coast Guard to assist a fishing vessel in difficulty,
The fishing vessel had fouled its propellers, and lost all power.
The volunteer lifeboat crew established a tow and held the vessel, until the 3 crew onboard the casualty vessel eventually cleared their props.
They stayed alongside for an additional hour to ensure everything was in order before returning to Buncrana.
