AEMC y varias fuentes.

Los catorce miembros de la dotación –no todos son marineros como dicen los medios españoles- han sido rescatados por un helicóptero de la Guardia Costera irlandesa.

El FV Fastnet tiene 33 m de eslora y fue construido en el año 2000. SE desconocen las causas por las que se produjo la parada de su motor principal, a la salida de puerto, y su deriva hacia los acantilados rocosos de Bínn Bán, Kerry.  

El estado de la mar era favorable y a visibilidad no era buena, por lo que las tareas de recate resultaron arriesgadas.

En los últimos años han sido muchos los pesqueros de armadores españoles que han sufrido accidentes graves en las aguas irlandesas.
