Actinia RI 220

Actinia RI 220

The 17 meter long, 53 gt fishing vessel Actinia RI 220 sank near Blåvandshuk, Denmark.  The 30 year old fishing vessel had sprung a leak while fishing.   The vessel’s engine room quickly flooded leaving the Actinia without power for the pumps.  As the vessel flooded, the two crewmen contacted the fishing vessel Merano who was fishing with the Actinia.   The Merano took the Actinia under tow attempting to reach shore, but the Actinia developed a list.  Before the vessel capsized, the two crew abandon ship into a liferaft.  The two men were quickly rescued by the Merano.   No reports of injuries.   No further details reported.
