No name of ship given, perhaps they want to contact relatives before releasing more details? 90m might suggest something short sea/coastal but that's just guesswork from me.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-38622179Seven people have been rescued from life rafts in the sea after abandoning a sinking cargo ship near Kent.
An extensive rescue operation was carried out overnight by search teams after the vessel went down about 35 nautical miles (40 miles) off Ramsgate.
Rescue helicopters, a lifeboat, and Dutch helicopter and several merchant vessels all came to the aid of the sinking vessel.
Coastguards said the crew sent a Mayday alert before abandoning the 90m ship.
Steve Carson, UK coastguard duty commander, said: "The weather has been challenging but we are please to report that all the crew have been rescued and are on their way to hospital," he added.
BBC correspondent Richard Galpin said the crew were not thought to be in a serious condition.
The incident happened in force nine winds and the crew had to take to life rafts in the sea.
Ships nearby managed to reach the stranded crew first. Members were taken on board and airlifted to hospital.
It's not yet clear whether it was the weather or another problem which caused the ship to sink, or whether any cargo was on board.
