Car Carrier Sinks After Colliding With Box Ship
Four sailors died and seven others were missing last night in the North Sea after their cargo ship carrying cars collided with a container vessel and sank about 30 miles outside the Dutch port of Rotterdam.
The collision between the Baltic Ace, a car carrier sailing under a Bahamas flag, and the Corvus J, from Cyprus, took place in a shipping lane, which is one of the busiest in the North Sea and an important passing point for ships sailing into the Rotterdam port, Europe’s largest and the fifth-largest in the world, reported The Times.
Rotterdam port spokesman Sjaak Poppe said the collision would not affect shipping in and out of the port.

汽车运输船与集装箱船碰撞后沉没
昨晚，在距离荷兰鹿特丹港约30英里外的北海，汽车运输船与集装箱船相撞后沉没，造成4名船员死亡，另外7名船员失踪。
悬挂巴哈马国旗的汽车运输船Baltic Ace号与来自塞浦路斯的Corvus J号发生碰撞。该事故发生在通往北海的最繁忙航道上，这里也是驶入鹿特丹港（时代周刊称其为欧洲最大、世界第五大港口）的重要交叉口。
鹿特丹港发言人 Sjaak Poppe称该碰撞不会影响进出本港的船只活动。
