Initial instruction to stand clear of the vessel 3 miles west of Elie & clarify if  everything was OK on board and all crew well.
Initial report was the casualty was the skipper and the vessel was therefore in high risk, it was later ascertained that the casualty was a crewman.
FV located contact made with the skipper and the vessel escorted into Pittenweem harbour, where four officers from police Scotland took control of the incident, once tied up alongside.
