Update 9: Marine search and rescue, Middle Island
The search for the four men still missing from the commercial fishing vessel Dianne has today been scaled back.
Despite search efforts being scaled back, police will continue water, shoreline and inlet patrols daily.
Last week, police divers finished clearing the wreckage of the commercial fishing vessel after it overturned in waters off the Town of 1770 on October 16.
Police have consulted other agencies about the status of the search and have kept family members briefed about the latest developments.
Details are still being broadcast to all vessels in the area and crews are being asked to report any debris or information to police.
Two men located inside the vessel last week have formally been identified as 30-year-old Adam Hoffman and 45-year-old Ben Leahy.
Police are working hard to ensure the families of Adam Bidner, Zachary Feeney, Chris Sammut, Eli Tonks, Adam Hoffman and Ben Leahy can get some measure of closure.
Arrangements are currently being made with a number of agencies in relation to the recovery of the vessel, however this will take some time.
