Shipping News and information / Re: Norwegian containership is sinking in the baltic

« on: February 25, 2007, 10:41:24 AM »

"Ocean Caroline" is listing 40 degrees, as result of shell plating fracure. Eight crew is evacuated safely by Navy  chopper to Gdynia. Petrobaltic "Afrodita", 2 swedish trawlers and SAR vessel are on site, ready to assist with evacuation of remaining 4 crew members who are trying to save the ship.

Strong winds (7 deg. Beuafort scale) does not help their efforts. No spillage has been reported so far.
