Investigators have released the first full image of the carrier vessel which sank in the Pentland Firth that claimed the lives of all eight crew members.
Marine Accident Investigation Board has completed sonar and remote operated vehicle surveys of the Cemfjord which was found capsized on Saturday, January 3.
The image reveals that the 272ft long vessel has fallen onto its side after it was previously reported to be lying upside down when investigators first began carrying out the survey.
Last contact was made with the Cypriot registered ship which had sailed from Denmark when it was sailing between Stroma and Swona on Friday, January 2.
It was discovered capsized over 24 hours after last contact was made by Serco Northlink passenger ferry Hrossey.
It is believed the bodies of all eight crew members, seven Poles and a Filipino are still inside the Cemfjord with no plans finalised to recover the vessel.
