Scots cadets back on land at last
Four cadets were stranded on the tanker after the Korean firm Hanjin went bankrupt
A ship carrying four officer cadets from college in Glasgow has docked in Singapore after the company they were training with filed for bankruptcy, leaving them stranded.
The cadets from Clyde Marine Training had been on a placement with South Korean company Hanjin Shipping as part of their City of Glasgow College course when the firm hit financial trouble.
Thousands of seafarers were affected as ports around the world refused to allow Hanjin ships to dock.
One of the cadets, Ruaridh Hanna, 22, from Beauly in the Highlands, has been serving on a Hanjin Shipping container vessel for three months and has told his family he's expected to be back in the UK tomorrow morning.
It is understood Singapore's High Court granted a temporary reprieve for the ships to dock without fear of being seized.
The cadets had joined the Liberia-flagged Hanjin Louisiana in May and were due to leave the 40,855gt vessel on September 2.
