Very sad news. The sea remains a very dangerous place.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-30667084A major search operation has been launched after a vessel overturned off the north of Scotland.
Eight people are reported to have been on board the Cypriot-registered Cemfjord, a cargo ship carrying cement.
The upturned hull was found by a passing ferry in the Pentland Firth.
Four lifeboats, two rescue helicopters and other vessels are searching for the crew. Shetland Coastguard is co-ordinating rescue efforts.
The NorthLink ferry Hrossey also took part in the early stages of the operation.
