In the last few minutes Coastguards have confirmed that a cargo boat has run aground in Falmouth.
The Russian registered vesse Kuzma Minin, built in 1980, is 180 metres long and ran into difficulties in the stormy conditions.
It is believed to have run aground within the last hour between Swanpool and Gyllyngvase Beach.
Coastguard's pilot boats are at the scene.
