Major rescue operation for capsized boat on Clyde stood down by Coastguard and police

A rescue operation was stood down by the Coastguard on Friday night after almost five hours of searching when a tugboat with two people on board capsized in the River Clyde off Greenock.

HM Coastguard told the Record that the operation had been "handed over" to Police Scotland when their involvement came to an end at 8pm.

Police later confirmed they too had stepped down but would resume searching on Saturday morning.
