Second Sunrise crewman in hospital
A FRASERBURGH fishing boat was forced to call in at Lerwick harbour for the second time this week when it delivered an injured fisherman for medical treatment this morning (Thursday).
The Sunrise was fishing 50 miles north north east of Shetland when the crewman was struck in the chest by a heavy object around 11.30pm last night.
The boat arrived at Lerwick around 4.40am where it was met by a waiting ambulance and coastguard rescue team, who took the man to Gilbert Bain Hospital where his condition was described as stable.
The vessel had been in Lerwick just 48 hours earlier after a crewman became ill while fishing around 60 miles east of Shetland on Monday night. He was taken to hospital and also described as stable.
