According to information, the accident took place about 11 nm off Ravenna. while the cargo vessel was sailing to Ravenna from Rasa, Croatia.
MIKA collided with the fishing vessel, which eventually sank.
However, the cargo vessel managed to rescue five fishermen who were on board their ship and resumed sailing.

In another rescue operation, three merchant vessels were involved in the rescue of a sailor from the Atlantic Ocean last weekend, after his yacht lost its mast in stormy conditions.
The vessel had extensive damage and was drifting in very poor weather conditions. Thanks to the two beacons onboard however, the HM Coastguard was able to locate the yacht and begin the search and rescue.
