The search for the missing crew of an overturned cargo ship has been suspended and will not be resumed.
Two helicopters, four lifeboats and five coastguard rescue teams have been looking for the eight people who were on the Cypriot-registered Cemfjord since Saturday afternoon.
The search began after the ship's upturned hull was spotted in the waters of the Pentland Firth.
It was halted when darkness fell on Saturday and resumed again on Sunday, but there has been no sign of the crew, made up of seven Poles and one Filipino.
The coastguard however is continuing to broadcast messages to all ships asking them to look out for anything that could be related to the vessel.
The last confirmed sighting of the ship was at about 1pm on Friday. There was no distress call before it sank.
The 83-metre bulk cement carrier was heading to Runcorn, Cheshire, on the west coast of the UK. She was carrying 2,000 tons of cement.
The families of the missing crew have been notified.
Northern Lighthouse Board ship Pharos is due on the scene on Monday morning to do a sonar examination of the seabed where the vessel sank and assess how it is lying on the seabed.
The RNLI tweeted: "Our thoughts are with the crew of the upturned cargo ship, their family, friends and all those involved in today's search operation."
