Latvian authorities are preparing to evacuate nearly 1,000 people from a cruise ship stuck on a sandbank.
Tugs have been trying to free the Bahamas-registered Mona Lisa, which ran aground off Latvia on Sunday.
There is no immediate risk to the passengers, most of whom are German, coastguard officials say.
The Mona Lisa, which is German-owned, was sailing from the Polish port of Gdansk to the Latvian capital Riga when it hit a sandbank.
A total of 984 people are aboard the ship, 747 of them passengers.
