Four Scottish sailors stranded on a ship off Singapore are due to arrive home this week.

The Hanjin Louisiana, which has been stuck at sea for nearly a month following the collapse of the Korean shipping giant Hanjin, is expected to dock on Wednesday.

Glasgow College sea cadets Ruaridh Hanna, from Dingwall, David Gorniak, from Springfield, and Gavin McPhail, from Paisley, will arrive back in Scotland on Thursday, along with a fourth cadet who has asked not to be named.

Last week, Mr Hanna's mother, Rhona MacLennan, said: "It's been very worrying - there's been so much uncertainty and so little information and the information has been very muddled.

"We're a very close family and you think you're there to look after each other but being so far away makes you feel helpless."

Last week, Hanjin's shares rallied when its biggest shareholder agreed to lend the firm £41.5m to allow it to offload the £10.7bn worth of cargo its ships are carrying.

The company had reportedly avoided docking its vessels to prevent them from being seized while it secured bankruptcy protection.

Zodiac, the firm which sponsored the cadets' work placement aboard the Hanjin Louisiana, reportedly turned down an offer which would have seen them return to shore last weekend.
