Coastguard helicopters and lifeboats are searching for a ferry passenger who is believed to have fallen from a ferry in the Irish Sea.
The woman was reported missing from the Isle of Inishmore ferry just after 8.15 GMT+1 today and was last seen at 3am.
Two Irish Coastguard helicopters and a UK Coastguard helicopter are searching the area, together with lifeboats and a ship from the Port Authority.
Police from Dyfed-Powys and Ireland are also involved.
The ferry was travelling from Pembroke in Wales to Rosslare in Ireland when the incident happened.
The UK Coastguard has issued a Mayday broadcast for all vessels in the area.
An Irish Coastguard spokesman said: "We're on a search on the trackline this morning, in the Pembroke channel in Milford Haven.
"We got the call earlier on. It's a UK-coordinated operation as it's on their side. That's where the casualty was last seen at around 3am.
"Gardai were down with the ferry this morning and it has since been released and is on its way back to Pembroke."
