Squall

The 40 meter long tugboat Squall sank south of the Kerch Strait near the Crimean Peninsula. The tug had suffered steering failure in heavy seas allowing water ingress.  The seven crew abandoned ship into the vessel’s life raft before the Squall sank.  Authorities were alerted and dispatched several vessels to the scene. A cargo vessel came upon the life raft and rescued all seven crew of the Squall.  No reports of injuries.
