Ocean Rover suffered engine room flooding
On June 8, 2015, at 2 a.m. the "Ocean Rover" started to take in water in the engine room. The crew of four of the North Shields-based trawler contacted the Coastguard when they were 10 miles east of Sunderland. A crew from Tynemouth RNLI and a helicopter from Humberside was sent out to the men. The volunteer lifeboat crew found that the skipper had managed to seal the leak and had started his bilge pump to remove the seawater. With a large amount of water still to remove, the lifeboat’s salvage pump was put on to the trawler and used to empty the engine room. Meanwhile, the rescue helicopter had arrived, but as the emergency situation was over it was stood down and returned to base. As the "Ocean Rover"’s engine was still operating and no other damage had been caused, she then returned to North Shields fish quay, escorted by the lifeboat and with two members of the lifeboat crew on board her as a precaution.
