The trawler Lorient Father Milo just sunk after collision with a Turkish freighter Lady Ozge, around 14 pm, 20 nautical miles (30 km) west of Belle-Ile (Morbihan). One of two fishermen was recovered by the tanker of 120m, carrying vegetable oil, but the second is missing. Significant research resources have been deployed in this sector of the Atlantic ocean to find the missing: the helicopter Dragon 56 of the Safety Car, the EC 225 helicopter of the Navy, with divers on board, the SNSM star of Belle-Ile and six fishing vessels. The circumstances of the collision are not yet known.
