A helicopter, believed to be carrying 18 people, has ditched west of Shetland.
Police Scotland said they have been told the incident happened west of Sumburgh airport.
The helicopter was operated by CHC, taking people to and from oil and gas platforms in the North Sea.
It is understood a ferry travelling between Shetland and Aberdeen has been diverted to the scene.
