A fishing boat has been smashed apart by the sea 11 days after it ran aground off the west coast of Orkney.

Dramatic footage shows a hole in its hull, while the stern appears to have almost separated from the rest of the vessel.

Genesis was abandoned after it struck rocks close to the Old Man Of Hoy on 1 October.

After issuing a mayday call, all 17 crew members were winched to safety by a Coastguard helicopter and taken to shore.

A Spokesperson for HM Coastguard said the amount of diesel onboard is believed to be "minimal" and the Counter Pollution team was "liaising with the vessel owner and relevant authorities regarding potential salvage".

"Vessel-related debris identified on shore is being managed by the local authority," they added.

The RNLI lifeboat from Stromness was involved in the rescue, along with coastguard helicopters from Sumburgh and Stornoway, and the Northlink passenger ferry Hamnavoe, which launched its fast-rescue boat.

The Kirkwall and St Margaret's Hope Coastguard Rescue Teams responded to the incident as did a maritime patrol aircraft from the Royal Air Force.

Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service were also in attendance.

Mark Wrigley, from Leeds, who saw the rescue from onboard the ferry Hamnavoe said an announcement was made telling passengers the ferry was going to assist.

He told BBC Radio Orkney at the time: "It was quite a distance but you could quite clearly see a boat on the rocks and there was a couple of boats in the water. The RNLI were there and then they were joined by a coastguard helicopter."

He said rescuers winched the fishermen into the helicopter two at a time very close to the Old Man of Hoy rocks.

"I was absolutely in awe of the people who were doing the rescue," he added.

Four of the vessel's crew were from Spain and have returned home - with one making it in time for his son's wedding.

The other members of the crew are from Indonesia and have also left Orkney.
