Flood on car deck sank Egyptian ferry: officer

An officer from the Egyptian ferry which sank in the Red Sea said on Sunday the car deck had flooded as crew battled a fire.

About 800 people are still missing from the ferry Al Salam 98, which caught fire on Thursday on a trip from Duba in Saudi Arabia to Safaga on the Egyptian side of the Red Sea. Rescuers have brought ashore some 400 survivors and 195 dead bodies.

Another seven people were rescued on Saturday evening, the state news agency MENA said. Search operations continued on Sunday but the chances of finding more survivors were diminishing, officials said.

Rani Kamal, third officer on the ship, told the Arabic news channel Al Arabiya from a Saudi hospital the car deck had flooded during the firefighting operation, making the ship list. Government officials said earlier the blaze began in a vehicle.

"The ferry sank due to firefighting operations. Water flooded the garage (car deck), which is where the fire started, and it pooled on one side," he said.

"Then the water increased and increased until the ship listed sharply. It listed five, then 10 degrees and then 15 and then 25 degrees and that was the beginning of the end," added Kamal, who was rescued from a dinghy by Saudi coastguards.

He did not explain further. Passengers have also reported both a fire below decks and serious listing.

The captain of the ship, Sayed Omar, is unaccounted for. The second officer, who has been rescued, has spoken to the authorities but not to the media.

Passengers accused the captain and crew of negligence, saying Omar abandoned the ship before making sure all the passengers had left the vessel. They said crew prevented them from wearing lifejackets and did not get them into lifeboats.

Egyptian media and commentators have accused the operators of making the ferry unsafe by adding extra decks after buying it from Italy and using a Panamanian flag to avoid safety requirements.
