Ship sank off Alexandria

The 'Ayla', loaded with about 3,000 metric tonnes of steel scrap, has capsized and sunk due to stormy weather in position 31 11 40 N, 029 46 33 E, at the outer anchorage of Alexandria on March 11, 2022, at around 12.25 p.m. UTC. Probably due to a cargo shift the vessel had developed an increasing list to starboard side and finally rolled over and sank stern first. All 10 crew members have been safely evacuated by Egyptian naval forces. They included nine Syrians and one Indian and received aid upon reaching shore aboard the rescue vessel 'Al-Arish'. No pollution was reported. Report with video: https://www.egyptindependent.com/video-lebanese-cargo-ship-sinks-off-alexandria-crew-rescued/
