The Coast Guard said they were asked to send a lifeboat to the scene of what is believed to be an industrial accident.
A Garda source said initial inquiries suggested the incident will be a matter for Health and Safety Authority investigators.
A post-mortem examination is to be carried out on the man's body today.
