SEARCH RESUMES FOR MISSING CREW OF CEMFJORD

The search has begun again this morning for eight crew missing from the cement carrier, ‘Cemfjord’ which capsized and sank in the Pentland Firth.

The two helicopters and four lifeboats have resumed their search and will be joined by coastguard rescue teams from Kirkwall, St Margarets Hope, Duncansby, Scrabster and Wick. HMS Somerset and her helicopter have also joined the search.


The search has been ongoing since 2.30 pm yesterday afternoon when the vessel was found capsized, by a passing ferry. Sadly no sign has yet been found of the missing crew.
