Reason: Humber Coastguard requested the launch of Amble ILB after the 19ft pleasure vessel “OSPREY” reported mechanical failure approx 500mts up river from Amble Lifeboat Station, with 1 person on board. The ILB was launched and was quickly alongside the casualty vessel, where she was taken undertow into Amble Marina where the ILB crew helped moor her alongside a pontoon. The ILB then returned to station where she was made ready for service.
