A cargo ship carrying salt sank off the Greek island of Lesbos. As a result, one person died, and 13 people were listed as missing. Reuters reported this on Sunday, November 26.
According to the agency, one of the 14 crew members was rescued by a Greek Navy helicopter, and the search continues for the other 13.
The ship was carrying salt from Egypt to Istanbul. It sailed under the flag of the Comoros Islands and was managed by a Lebanese company. It is known that of its 14 crew members, one is an Indian citizen, 11 are Egyptian citizens and two are Syrian citizens.
“At seven in the morning on November 26, the ship’s crew reported a technical malfunction, and at 8.20 in the morning the captain informed that the ship had capsized and gave the signal for help. According to preliminary estimates, the ship was caught in a storm in the Aegean Sea, and perhaps a hole appeared in it “, the journalists pointed out.
The search for the ship’s crew involved five cargo ships, three port authority boats, a helicopter and a Greek Navy frigate.
Let’s recall that in April, an African ship bound for Ukraine sank near Turkey. There were 14 crew members on board. Five were saved.
