HM Coastguard have sent a helicopter and RNLI llifeboats to the scene.

EMERGENCY crews have rushed to a report of a collision between two vessels in the Firth of Clyde.It is understood to have involved a tanker and a fishing boat.

CalMac have also confirmed that the MV Isle of Arran, which was due to arrive in Brodick at 4.15pm, had been delayed due to its assistance with"an emergency".An RAF Poseidon aircraft was also seen circling the area of the incident as emergency crews arrived at the scene.A coastguard spokesperson said:"HM Coastguard is co-ordinating the response to reports of a vessel collision on the Firth of Clyde this afternoon, April 25.

Online trackers monitoring shipping movements in the Firth of Clyde suggest that the RNLI's Troon lifeboat has arrived back in Troon following the incident. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
