Search resumes for missing fishermen

THE search for two fishermen missing after their boat, the Nancy Glen, capsized in Loch Fyne last night continued at first light today.
A third crew member was rescued from the water by the crew of a passing boat.
The coastguards were alerted at around 6pm last night after receiving a distress call reporting that a vessel had capsized and men were in the water.
RNLI lifeboats from Tighnabruich, Arran and Campbeltown are involved in the search operation, along with the HM Coastguard Prestwick helicopter and Coastguard rescue teams.
A Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) statement this morning said: ‘Campbeltown RNLI Lifeboat has been out all night and this morning joining a number of commercial vessels searching the area. Sadly, however, nothing has been found.
‘Attempts were made last night with a remotely operated underwater vehicle to investigate the fishing vessel which has come to rest on the sea floor. However, poor visibility hampered those efforts.
‘A number of Coastguard rescue teams and RNLI lifeboats are expected to meet later this morning to rejoin the search in the Loch Fyne area.’
A Police Scotland spokesman said: ‘An extensive search of the area is being carried out and one person has been rescued from the boat.
‘He has been taken to Mid Argyll Hospital, Lochgilphead, where medical staff describe his condition as stable.
‘A joint investigation between police and the marine accident investigation branch is under way to establish the cause of the incident.’
