A cargo ship that sunk with eight crew on board has been located on the seabed off the north coast of Scotland.

A major search effort was mounted on Saturday after the upturned hull of the Cypriot-registered Cemfjord was spotted in the waters of the Pentland Firth by a passing ferry.

The search was suspended on Sunday afternoon when no sign of the crew could be found. Today a sonar ship discovered the ship on the sea bed.

There is no sign of the crew members.

A severe storm is supected to be the cause of the sinking of the Cemfjord.
