New details have emerged regarding the cargo ship that sank off the coasts of Greece and the identity of the missing Egyptians in the incident. According to information obtained by "Al Arabiya.net," the ship went missing 4.5 miles off the coast of the Greek island of Lesbos. It was flying the Comoros flag and had departed from the Egyptian port of Dekheila in Alexandria, loaded with salt, and was heading to the port of Constantinople in Turkey. There were 14 people on board, including Egyptians from the town of Azzbat Al Burj in Damietta Governorate.
The information also indicates that the ship issued a distress signal after it experienced a mechanical failure at sea at 7:00 AM on Sunday. At 8:20 AM, the ship activated an emergency call for nearby vessels before disappearing from the radar. A helicopter was able to rescue a single sailor from the crew at 11:20 AM. According to Greek authorities' preliminary assessments, the ship was swaying right and left before it disappeared from the radar screens, suggesting that it capsized. Authorities also suspect that a hole may have formed in the ship, allowing water to enter and causing it to sink.
The information has revealed the identities of the missing Egyptians who were on board the ship, all of whom are from Azzbat Al Burj in Damietta Governorate, northern Egypt. They are: Sayed Rashad Hafiz Abdel Mawgood, Mohamed Nasser Hamid Al-Shahat, Mohamed Nabil Younis Abou Shahin, Mohamed Mohamed Badawy Al-Sharif, Islam Mohamed Ibrahim Khalil Al-Mawafi, Mohamed Mohsen Al-Tabi Da'dour, Ziyad Ashraf Mohamed Al-Qattan, Abdullah Awad Abdel Aziz Al-Torabi, Ahmed Ahmed Hassan Abdel Aal, Ahmed Essam Rizk Barakat, and Ali Ali Ahmed Sheikh Ibrahim.
