Earlier in March there was an incident in the Lynn of Morvern. Robbie was out on his usual pilot duties, this time the ship was departing the quarry. As the bulk carrier left the berth her main engine came into difficulties. The wind direction wasn’t favourable, so Robbie assisted with a push while another vessel pulled to stop her touching the shore. calm heads and quick thinking helped all round. More assistance arrived but luckily the main engine kicked into life and the situation was under control. Well done to Robbie and all involved.
