An urgent search has been launched after the coastguard received reports a man was missing from a ferry in the Irish Sea.
Holyhead Coastguard Centre received reports of a missing member of the crew on a ferry travelling from Dublin to Holyhead in Wales at 9pm on Monday.
He was last seen on the ferry between 3.30pm and 4pm on Monday.
"HM Coastguard's fixed wing aircraft and the Coastguard Rescue helicopter from Caernarfon are scheduled to make an overflight of the search area based on the latest calculated search area this morning," a spokesperson from HM Coastguard said.
A wide-scale air and sea search covered more than 1,000 square nautical miles overnight, but nothing was found.
It involved Porthdynllaen RNLI lifeboat, Holyhead RNLI all weather lifeboat and inshore lifeboat, Moelfre RNLI lifeboat, HM Coastguard's fixed-wing aircraft and the rescue helicopter from the Irish Coastguard as well as North Wales Police for port and vessel searches.
HM Coastguard said it resumed the search on this morning and it is continuing into the afternoon.
