POOLE lifeboat has been launched following reports of a small dinghy drifting into the path of the chain ferry at Sandbanks.
A spokesperson for Portland Coastguard said several 999 calls were made after 7pm and Poole lifeboat was deployed.
She added that the small inflatable dinghy suffered engine failure and drifted into the path of the chain ferry with two people on board.
One person went into the water and the other was taken on board the chain ferry.
Both occupants of the dinghy are now safe and not believed to have sustained any injuries.
