Moldovan ship sinks in Black Sea, breaks into pieces, crew rescued

A cargo ship under a Moldovan flag sunk in the Black Sea coast in Turkey on January 19. It was carrying 70 tons of diesel fuel.

The ship suffered considerable damage because of poor weather conditions.

The crew - made up of 17 Turkish nationals and four Georgians - was saved by Turkish authorities.

The ship was going from Ukraine to Turkey. Oil has apparently been leaking since the crash.
