A yacht has gone adrift in the North Sea after losing steering in difficult weather conditions, reports the U.K. Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).

One man is believed to be aboard the yacht which was making its way from Lerwick to Norway when it encountered difficulties around 8:50 p.m. yesterday. The man is in no immediate danger, according to the coastguard.

The coastguard units from the U.K. and Norway are responding to the incident. Responders hope to tow yacht to Bergen, though weather conditions are making it difficult.
