Reefer ship Antigone Z with Russian crew onboard is anchored off Shetland, the North Sea, after running into engineering problems in rough water, the website of the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency said.

"The... vessel with 10 people aboard was bound for Klaipeda in Lithuania and had engineering problems in northwesterly winds of occasionally force 6 to 7 with 3 metre, rough seas," the website said.

The ship suffered an 8 degree list after 30 to 40 pallets of frozen fish moved in poor weather and the crew trying to fix a problem with the ship's fuel pump.

"We are keeping a close eye on the vessel and they have indicated that it will take about 24 hours to sort out their problems on board," Katrina Hampson, Duty Watch Manager said.
