Charities to help sailors of lost Fraserburgh boat Ocean Way

Two charities will support the surviving Filipino crew members of the Fraserburgh trawler Ocean Way which went down at the weekend.

Apostleship of the Sea and the Fishermen’s Mission have joined together to help the two men aged 38 and 28 after they were winched from the sea 100 miles off the Northumberland coast.

The men, who have not been named, were later released from Wansbeck Hospital after being treated for hypothermia.

The rescue took place on November 2 after their boat had transmitted a distress signal which sparked a two helicopter search operation for the boat’s crewmen.

The ship’s skipper, James Noble from Fraserburgh, was also pulled from the sea but died after rescuers were unable to resuscitate him.

In paying tribute to Mr Noble, Scottish Fishermen’s Federation chief executive Bertie Armstrong said the accident highlighted the dangers faced by fishermen on a constant basis.

A further two crewmen from the Philippines remain missing.

Paul Atkinson, Apostleship of the Sea’s chaplain in Tyne and Blyth, said of the survivors: “They are still in a state of shock after what has happened. We will continue to visit them over the next few days and assist them in any way we can.

“They need warm clothing and possibly mobile phones, as they lost everything in the accident.”

Peter Dade, a port missioner with the Fishermen’s Mission, added: “Working with our colleagues at AoS, we are doing the very best we can to support the fishermen and their families both practically and spiritually.

“We also know that a tragedy such as this brings back memories and feelings of great sadness for other families who have also lost those they love to the sea. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”

Apostleship of the Sea is additionally working with its port chaplains in the Philippines to provided support to the families of all Filipino crewmen who were on board.
