A Turkish cargo ship collided with another merchant vessel and sank near a foggy Italian port in the northern Adriatic on Sunday, killing two crew members and leaving four others missing in cold, rough seas, officials said.
The Turkish ship Gokbel went down after colliding with the Belize-flagged Lady Aziza, which was still seaworthy and was being brought to port as part of the investigation, Maltese said. No one was hurt aboard the Lady Aziza.
The search for the four still missing was suspended due to darkness.
