The future of the stricken Riverdance ferry will be decided during crisis talks on Thursday.
Salvors, insurers and the boat's owners will meet to discuss what to do next, after the vessel was battered by further bad weather.
The ferry is now completely on its side and is sinking into the sand, and salvors have admitted that cutting the boat up on the sand is a possibilty, but still a last resort.
But it is starting to look like the most likely option, after attempts to salvage the boat over the last month have failed.
