One person has died and four are missing after a British cargo ship sank off the coast of Germany following a collision in the North Sea.
Two vessels – the British-flagged Verity and the Bahamas-flagged Polesie – collided at about 5am on Tuesday about 13 miles south-west of the island of Helgoland, Germany’s Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (CCME) said. The Verity sank, according to reports.
