Bembridge RNLI has successfully towed a RIB into Bembridge Harbour following an engine fire onboard tonight (Wednesday).
Solent Coastguard requested the launch of the inshore lifeboat at around 21:05 after reports were received of a vessel in difficulty.
A tow was quickly established and the casualty vessel was taken to the visitor’s pontoon at Bembridge Harbour.
The fire was already out upon arrival of the inshore lifeboat.
