Sailors missing after ship sinks

SINGAPORE (AP): Divers were searching for two Dutch and three Filipino seafarers missing after their ship capsized in Indonesian waters two days earlier, the vessel's owners said on Thursday.

Four Dutch sailors and one Filipino were also injured and flown to nearby Singapore for treatment, the ship's owner, Dockwise NV of Belgium, said in a statement.

The Mighty Servant 2 was transporting heavy industrial equipment when it flooded and capsized off the Indonesian island of Singkep on the night of Nov. 1-2, the statement said.

Crew members boarded life rafts and were rescued by fishermen who took them to Singkep, Dockwise said.

The ship was en route from Okpo, South Korea, to Angola, and had stopped for supplies in Singapore before it sank.
