Local Harbour Pilot boat at Ramsgate, Kent, England

Ramsgate RNLI crews were called in to help a pilot boat beached at Broadstairs last night (December 7).

According to a report today by www.MaritimeBulletin.net a mooring boat was rammed from a container ship and sunk.

We we’re out on sea trials with the two newly launched Interceptor 48 pilot boats when the Port of Cork pilot boat ‘Failte’ passed by to undertake a pilot transfer from an outbound ship. It was a nice opportunity to capture some cool video of the action as the boats ran alongside before the ship turned to create a lee for the pilot to disembark. Although the seas weren’t very big, it was blowing hard at the time with gusts of over 50kts recorded at Roches PT lighthouse as we passed.
