2 Maersk oil industry supply vessels sink off coast of France
A.P. Moller-Maersk said on Thursday two of its offshore oil industry supply vessels sank off the coast of France earlier in the day as they were being towed for scrapping in Turkey.
It said the two vessels, Maersk Searcher and Maersk Shipper, were unmanned at the time of the incident and no one was hurt.

Both vessels, with deadweight of around 3500 tons and 82 meters long, had been emptied of fuel and lubricants, Claus Bachmann, chief operating officer of Maersk Supply Service, said.
