Eight crew members have been rescued at sea after a fishing boat crashed near the Shetland Islands.
The alarm was raised around 12pm on Thursday, October 6 when HM Coastguard was alerted to a vessel having gone down 45 nautical miles south-east of Sumburgh, close to Fair Isle.
The crew of the Peterhead based Guiding Star H360 declared a mayday before abandoning the ship to a life-raft after colliding with another vessel – their sister boat Guiding Light.
