A search for four people missing after two ships crashed off the coast of Germany has been called off.
The ship, called Verity, hit another boat – Polesie – at around 5am on Tuesday, about 14 miles southwest of the island of Heligoland.
Seven people were aboard Verity at the time. One person died and two were rescued and taken to hospital, where they remain.
The Isle of Man Ship Registry said today it was “saddened to confirm that the German Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre have called off their search and rescue operations and despite the best efforts of all involved, four crew members remain unaccounted for.
“The Ship Registry’s thoughts are with the seafarers that sailed on board the Verity, their families, friends and loved ones.”
