Ramsgate RNLI crews were called in to help a pilot boat beached at Broadstairs last night (December 7).

The ship could not slow down and sailed against the Old North Lock - “Alte Schleuse Nord”.

A 35-year-old male sea pilot of the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) fell into the sea from a crude oil tanker near the N Shed Wharf in the port of Durban. A rope of the pilot ladder is said to have snapped for an undetermined reason when the man disembarked while leaving the crude oil tanker which was leaving the port of Durban.
