- Operation Details Date/Time: Sun, 28/06/2020 - 08:30 - 10:30 Operation Type: CG Operation (good samaritan) People Assisted: 0 Total Volunteer Hours: 14 Two vessels were "rafted up" on a mooring in the channel. The mooring appears to have broken below the waterline and the vessels were swept onto the rail bridge with the incoming tide. Coastguard Mana were alerted to a Facebook post a member of the public had posted and went to invetigate. After assessing the situation it was decided to get them off quickly to minimise damage and risk to trains. A callout was activated and a number of people responded to tow them off the bridge and into the marina.
