All 14 crew rescued from Spanish trawler that ran aground off Ireland in stormy weather.

Fourteen crew members were rescued from the Spanish trawler Fastnet, which ran aground on rocks near Dingle Harbour, County Kerry, on December 14, 2025, during severe weather. The vessel, registered in Brittany, lost power and was driven onto rocks by gale-force winds and heavy rain. Emergency responders, including an Irish Coast Guard helicopter, a fixed-wing aircraft, an RNLI lifeboat, and local maritime units, coordinated a complex rescue operation. All crew were winched to safety without injury. The trawler sustained hull damage and is leaking fuel, creating a visible slick. Authorities are assessing salvage options.
