Only just happened. Weather not too bad and a new ship! Six people missing - possibly trapped inside - I hope to God they are ok.

Quite a revolutionary new ship too. It is one of these: http://www.ulsteingroup.com/kunder/u...steinax102.itm

No it's not the X bow - that's what I thought at first. Still pretty impressive though.

It is one of the conventional ones - only finished in October!!!
