COASTGUARDS were called to a boat on a Suffolk river which had suffered engine failure.

A Thames Coastguard rescue vessel was dispatched to Levington at around 3.45pm yesterday.

The boat, Athena, was towed into Woolverston Marina.

A second boat, Telamonw, also reported engine failure to the coastguard at 11.30pm. However, the occupants managed to secure the boat to a mooring near Woolverstone Marina before the coastguard vessel was launched.
