Coastguards called out after boat capsizes

Coastguards in Douglas were mobilised this week after a boat had capsized whilst docked.

At around 10am on Monday, the team was dispatched to Douglas Marina to an old fishing boat which had sunk right outside their station.

In a joint operation with harbours staff, oil pollution booms were put out around the vessel to contain any oil or fuel.

Personnel add the harbours staff are monitoring the situation and, if needed, further action can be taken.
