Four crew members remain unaccounted for after a cargo ship began “listing heavily” off the coast of Georgia Sunday morning, according to a news release from the US Coast Guard.
The vessel – the 656 – foot Golden Ray – was reported to be leaning on its left side, or port side, around 2 am in St. Simons Sound, Capt. John Reed, commander of the Coast Guard Sector Charleston, said at a news conference.
Crews from the Coast Guard and other agencies responded and rescued 20 of the 24 crew members before a fire on board forced them to stop, he said. The Coast Guard said the ship is carrying vehicles.
