Escort for barge with dangerous list Holyhead's relief Tyne class Voluntary Worker was called on to stand by when the cargo aboard the 40m lifting barge Eileen Dubv E shifted in a Force 6 WNW wind and moderate to rough seas some seven miles from the station.

During the two-and-a-half hour service on 15 November 1994 the lifeboat escorted the vessel, whose list had increased to 20° when her cargo of buoys and chains shifted, into the safety of the outer harbour at Holyhead.

The P&O RoRo ferry Buffalo provided a lee for the stricken vessel and also escorted her during the passage to Holyhead..
