Three sailors on their way back from a night ‘on the tiles’ had to be rescued by lifeboat crews after getting lost whilst trying to return back to their ship in the dead of night.

The three had left their vessel, a cargo ship, that was anchored off the Somerset coast in order to get a taste of the nightlife in Barry, South Wales on Wednesday evening.

After enjoying a night away from the ship, the trio attempted to return back to their vessel using one of the ships tenders that had been left ‘in-situ’ after the ‘outbound’ journey.

They had set off at around 03:45 hours but were reported as missing three hours later.

Search and rescue teams found the three at around 08:30 hours on Flat Holm island which is around 3.5nm off the Welsh coast.

According to the RNLI, the three hapless sailors were crew members on the Dutch-registered coaster ‘Alana Evita’.

South Wales Police confirmed that it had been working with HM Coastguard and the RNLI and added that the three men, one Russian, one Dutch and one Filipino, were “now being assisted by police officers”.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
