Search for missing seamen suspended

The search for the eight missing crew members of a sunken cargo ship has been suspended.

A major search effort was mounted after the upturned hull of the Cypriot-registered Cemfjord was spotted in the waters of the Pentland Firth, north of Scotland, on Saturday.

Lifeboats were stood down in the afternoon and returned to shore. Helicopter, coastguard rescue teams, fixed wing aircraft and HMS Somerset continued to search until last light.
