A 33,000-ton RORO ship issued a Mayday distress call reporting an engine fire, after which Eastbourne RNLI\u2019s lifeboat Esme Anderson was launched.<\/p>\n

The call came at 5:21 am when the roll-on\/roll-off ship, 11 miles southeast of Eastbourne, reported total loss of power and onboard fire.<\/p>\n

When the lifeboat reached the ship, its crew had already extinguished the fire, but it was left adrift without power.<\/p>\n

An Eastbourne RNLI spokesperson said that when they arrived, nobody needed evacuation. The crew were asked to stand by the 217 m ship as the team worked to deploy the anchor.<\/p>\n

The crew members of the rescue team stood for more than an hour in rough sea conditions until the anchor was safely deployed.<\/p>\n

Once the ship was secured, Solent Coastguard released the lifeboat, allowing the crew to return to the station.<\/p>\n

The Coastguard remained in touch with the ship\u2019s crew when repairs were undertaken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
