Coastguard rescues oil platform crew member

The coastguard rescued one crew member from an offshore oil rig northeast of Shetland this morning (Wednesday).
Crew on the Cormorant Alpha, a fixed installation just over 100 kilometres northeast of Shetland, reported a medical incident at 9:00am, according to the coastguard.
A rescue helicopter took off from Sumburgh just over an hour later and arrived back in the islands shortly after 12:30pm.
The coastguard dropped the oil worker at Tingwall airstrip for transport to hospital, an indication that the crew member was likely not in severely time-critical condition.
