THE LERWICK lifeboat was called out on Wednesday morning to help a creel boat which had lost its steering off Noss.

The crew arrived at the scene at 9.30am and the 10m Sadie Joan, which had one person on board, was towed by the lifeboat into Greenhead in Lerwick by 11.15am.

Meanwhile, an oil worker suffering a suspected heart attack on the Dunbar oil platform has been flown to hospital in Bergen by the Sumburgh based Coastguard helicopter this morning.
