2 missing as cargo ship with 19 RP crew sinks off Spain
06:08:00 03/31/2010
MADRID—Two crewmen were missing on Tuesday after the cargo ship they were on sank in bad weather off northwestern Spain, maritime rescue services said.
Spanish and Portuguese maritime rescue services saved 22 of the 24 crew on the freighter the "Kea", most of them Filipinos, early Tuesday, said a spokesman for the maritime rescue service in the Spanish city of La Coruna. But they were still searching for two more who remained missing. The Barbados-registered vessel began keeling over late on Monday and sank early Tuesday afternoon about 160 nautical miles off Cape Vilano, in the northwestern region of Galicia. Bad weather and the distance of the ship from the coast complicated the rescue effort, the spokesman said. He said 19 of the crew were from the Philippines, two were Croatians and the others were from Russia, Ghana and Latvia. It was not immediately clear which of them had been rescued. The Kea was en route to Santa Marta in Colombia from St Petersburg in Russia. It was carrying a cargo of ammonium nitrate, but there was no danger of environmental pollution as the substance is very soluble, the spokesman said.
