WEST KERRY: Another trawler runs into difficulty in Dingle
FOR the second time in only a week the rescue services were tasked to deal with an incident involving a foreign fishing vessel in Dingle. Last Friday evening the Spanish registered Anchousa had just left the harbour when she struck the Crow Rock. The vessel continued to steam westwards for a time but then stopped to assess her condition and shortly afterwards headed back into port. The rescue services were tasked by Valentia Coast Guard after it was reported that the trawler was leaking diesel fuel. The local Irish Coast Guard launched their RIB and raced towards the damaged vessel.
