Lifeboat diverted from medevac to assist fishing vessel

On July 17, 2025, at 10 a.m. the Penlee RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat 'Ivan Ellen' was launched following a call from the Falmouth Coastguard. The lifeboat was tasked with a medevac for a crew member of the 'Cape Corfu', en route from Antwerp to Saint John, who had suffered a leg injury aboard the container ship, which was located 30 miles southwest of Mount’s Bay. While en route to the casualty, a helicopter was reassigned to carry out the medevac, and the 'Ivan Ellen' was diverted to another emergency, in order to support the Sennen Cove RNLI who had been sent to assist the potting vessel 'Emma Louise-TO60', that was taking on water off Pendeen. The Sennen Cove’s lifeboat 'City of London III' had already rendezvoused with the 'Emma Louise', which had three pumps onboard. The Sennen team began escorting the vessel back to shore. Upon reaching Land’s End, the escort was handed over to the Penlee lifeboat crew who continued the journey. The 'Ivan Ellen' successfully escorted the 'Emma Louise' back to safety in Newlyn harbour.
