Prospect emerges from the depths

At around 12.30am this morning the Prospect fishing trawler which had sunk two weeks previously was towed into Greenhead base in Lerwick.

The vessel after being secured alongside was then lifted by two slings attached to two cranes at the base. Pumps were then deployed to empty the vessel and later on today work will hopefully start on removing some 22,000 litres of marine gas oil in the vessels tanks.
