Fears For Four Crew On Vessel Lost At Sea

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 29 Januari 2015 | 10.18

A rescue operation is under way in the Channel after a fishing boat with four crew went missing in "very challenging" conditions.

It is believed the vessel's communications failed after the boat encountered rough seas and gale-force winds on Wednesday afternoon.

A Coastguard Rescue helicopter is scouring an area in the southeast of the English Channel, along with two all-weather lifeboats and a French search and rescue helicopter.

"The coastguard has notified other vessels in the surrounding area to remain vigilant and contact them if they locate anything," a spokesman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency added.

The 40m long fishing trawler, a Belgium vessel with a Dutch skipper, was last reported at a location approximately 10 miles from Dungeness on the Kent coast.

"It is a very large search area. The two lifeboats are operating eight miles apart. With no sightings, one does fear the worst," said RNLI spokesman Tim Ash.
