RNLI volunteers from both Kyle of Lochalsh and Mallaig helped the 1200 tonne cargo vessel CEG Universe get out of a spot of bother on Sunday morning.
The vessel was disabled with a broken rudder in the Kylerhea narrows.
It was eventually rescued by the SD Kyle of Lochalsh and two lifeboats who manoeuvred the cargo vessel through the Narrows and towed it into Kyle Harbour at 12.10pm.
