Sir William Hillary in Wales for work
The RNLI's Douglas lifeboat is out of action.
The Sir William Hillary has been taken to Holyhead Marine in North Wales for an engine replacement - a procedure which isn't feasible on home shores.
The vessel has been temporarily replaced by long-serving Tyne class relief ship David Robinson.
RNLI Press Officer Mike Howland says its an inevitable situation, but won't cause any disruption:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
