14 Rescued as Trawler Runs Aground Off Daingean Uí Chúis
The FV Fastnet lost power and grounded on rocks during a storm; all 14 crew were safely airlifted with no injuries despite a hull breach and diesel spill, officials said.
- On Sunday, the Irish Coast Guard airlifted fourteen crew from the FV Fastnet after it ran aground at Dingle Harbour; winching began at 12.23pm and ended by 1.08pm.
- The French-registered FV Fastnet lost power while leaving Dingle Harbour and drifted onto rocks at Búnn Bán amid County Kerry's status orange rain warning with strong winds and poor visibility.
- When the lifeboat could not take a tow due to shallow water and high swells, Valentia Marine Rescue Sub-centre coordinated Rescue 115, Rescue 120F, and the Dingle Coast Guard, as the Irish Coastguard stated.
- All 14 crew were medically examined ashore with no injuries, while marine sources report FV Fastnet's hull breach and diesel traces, prompting pollution and salvage teams' engagement.
- The trawler reportedly carried up to two weeks' fuel, raising environmental concerns, while local councillor Robert Brosnan and witnesses including Kevin Flannery praised Rescue 115's efforts on Sunday.
