« on: May 20, 2013, 08:25:50 PM »

A small passenger ship has this evening run aground in Oban Bay.
 
Stornoway Coastguard was alerted at 6.30pm this evening and was told that the ship had ran aground on sand and gravel.
 
There are no reported injuries, no reported pollution and no signs of water ingress.
 
An attempt will be made at high tide this evening to re-float the vessel. High tide is expected at 11.30pm.
 
The RNLI lifeboat from Oban is on standby to assist if needed. The Oban Sector Manager and the Oban Coastguard Rescue Team are also on scene.
