After the collision of two cargo ships in the Baltic Sea, rescuers recovered a dead sailor. Another is still missing, said Danish authorities. The two cargo ships collided in poor visibility early Monday morning in the sea area between the Danish island of Bornholm and Ystad in southern Sweden. One of the two ships, a freighter registered in Denmark, was drifting keel up in the sea, according to the Swedish maritime supervisory authority. Divers stood ready to examine the hull. According to the Danish Army’s Situation Center, there were two men on board. The other ship, a British timber freighter, is reportedly manoeuvrable, its crew out of danger. According to previous knowledge, both ships were heading in the same direction when the collision occurred. The Swedish Coast Guard opened an investigation into suspected gross negligence in shipping.
