THIS boat deliberately ran aground in Port Glasgow yesterday.
The Tele received calls from concerned readers who spotted the vessel beached near Parklea.
But the Belfast Coastguard said that the boat’s owners had ran aground so that they could carry out checks.
The spokesman said: “This was not an emergency incident.
“This boat had beached itself so that the owners could check the hull and other areas of the boat.”
