The trawler, pictured above, ran aground at Struisbaai mini breakwater in the harbour after drifting onto the rocks while attempting to come in on Tuesday.

"The harbour master requested the NSRI to respond to the scene at 16h17 and on arrival on-scene, it was determined that all crew had managed to get off the Chukkie fishing boat Stella and no lives were at risk and no one was injured and the NSRI were not required on the scene as no lives were in any danger,” says NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon.

The vessel was taken off the rocks and berthed at high tide later that evening by the owners using an excavator and ropes.
