A DANISH trawler was towed into Lerwick on Sunday by a larger Danish vessel after developing a problem with its propeller.

The Karbak was towed into Lerwick Harbour by the Torbis before Lerwick Port Authority’s harbour tugs Knab and Kebister took over and shepherded her to the quayside.

The 28-metre Karbak’s propeller had become entwined in its own fishing nets.
