Anda

The 80 meter long, 3304 dwt cargo vessel Anda sank in the Black Sea near Sevastopol, Crimea. The vessel had departed from Kerch bound for Tripoli with a cargo of wheat. Reports state the vessel ignored gale warnings and headed out into stormy seas.  The vessel didn’t travel far before it lost stability and developed a list. The 9 crew on board abandoned ship with some escaping in the lifeboat and others into the life raft before the Anda capsized and sank.  Search and Rescue were alerted and 8 crew were rescued.  One crewman was listed as missing.
