Yesterday at 1455hrs, Peterhead Lifeboat was tasked by UK Coastguard following the activation of a Man Overboard (MOB) distress beacon.

The crew mustered and launched shortly afterwards, making their way to the beacon’s reported position. Once on scene, the lifeboat was tasked with carrying out an expanding square search from the activation position. With nothing located during the search, the crew were then requested to conduct a shoreline search.

Due to the location and the rocky nature of the shoreline, the decision was made to launch the Y-boat, allowing crew members to search closer to and amongst the rocks.

After approximately two hours of searching, working alongside shore-based Coastguard Rescue Teams from Peterhead and Cruden Bay, the distress beacon was located ashore within the initial search area.

With the device recovered and satisfied that nobody was in distress, Peterhead Lifeboat was stood down and returned to station, where the crew made the lifeboat ready for service at 1740hrs.

A great example of the lifeboat and Coastguard teams working together to thoroughly investigate an alert and ensure there was no one in danger.

Whilst conducting our routine Monday night exercise last night, the crew were carrying out a towing exercise in Peterhead Harbour when, at 1920hrs, Peterhead Lifeboat was tasked by UK Coastguard following a report from a member of the public that a fisherman was waist-deep in the water near the River Ugie.

After a short time, the fisherman was no longer visible, although their fishing gear could still be seen in the water.

Peterhead Lifeboat quickly departed the harbour and made best speed to the River Ugie to commence a search. We were joined by UK Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 851 from Inverness, along with shore-based Coastguard Rescue Teams.

The next planned part of the evening’s exercise was a Search and Rescue scenario for Navigator Craig Aird. With the real incident closely matching the planned scenario, the crew were able to incorporate the shout into the exercise, allowing Craig and the rest of the crew to put their training into practice in a real operational situation.

After approximately 50 minutes of searching, the fisherman was located ashore, safe and well.

Once satisfied that nobody was in danger, Peterhead Lifeboat was stood down from service at 2013hrs and returned to continue our planned exercise.
