The National Sea Rescue Institute helped rescue 11 fishermen after their trawler ran a ground in thick fog off Noordhoek on the Cape Peninsula early yesterday morning.

NSRI Craig Lambinon says rescue swimmers were sent from the beach through the surf to rig a rope from the Amber Rose to shore.

Lambinon says the skipper remained safely on board while the vessel had to wait for salvage team.
