Athens, Nov 26: A cargo ship sank off the Greek island of Lesbos in stormy seas early Sunday, leaving 13 crew members, including four Indians, missing and one rescued, authorities said.
The Raptor, registered in the Comoros, was on its way to Istanbul from Alexandria, Egypt, carrying 6,000 tons of salt, the coast guard said.
It had a crew of 14, including eight Egyptians, four Indians and two Syrians, the coast guard said.
The ship reported a mechanical problem at 7 am Sunday, sent a distress signal and shortly after disappeared about 4 1/2 nautical miles (8 km) southwest of Lesbos, authorities said.
One Egyptian was rescued, a coast guard spokeswoman said. (AP)
