One man has been killed and seven crew members have been rescued after a Scottish Trawler capsized off the coast of Norway.
Three people from the Scottish vessel inhaled diesel with one of them dying after they were found in distress 100 miles from Stavanger, a southwest city in the Scandinavian country,
Five further crew members from the Njord fishing vessel were also rescued by a boat and take to safety in Stavanger, near where the ship ran into difficulty.
The 30-year-old Scottish trawler ran into difficulty after taking on water, the BBC has said.
Peterhead-registered Njord, believed to be pictured, was taking on water when the emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) raised the alarm

Norwegian Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre said the Peterhead-registered Njord’s emergency position-indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) raised the alarm.
But they had no radio contact with the vessel before being called at 13.39pm on Sunday.
The trawler left Peterhead on Saturday at 12:28pm, according to ship tracking software.
