16 crewmen were rescued from a Spanish trawler which sank off the west coast.
The alarm was raised around 8am after the 'Centuaro 1' got into difficulties around 500km off Eagle Island, Co Mayo.
The crewmen were picked up by a sister vessel, the Anagandon, following a joint operation between Malin Head and Clyde Coastguards.
The vessel is expected to dock at Killybegs late tomorrow evening.
None of the crew is in need of medical assistance.
