Shipwreck in the Atlantic
Rescue crews have begun combing the South Atlantic after the ship began taking on water.
A rescue operation has saved 14 sailors in lifeboats off the coast of the Falkland Islands.
However, the fate of seven people remains unknown. The search for them continues.
The fishing vessel Argos Georgia was sailing under the flag of Saint Helena.
The ship raised a distress signal early Tuesday near the Falkland Islands capital, authorities said.
An attempt to rescue people using a helicopter was cancelled due to difficult weather conditions.
However, the situation is under the control of rescuers with the aim of resuming operations as soon as possible.
According to the owner of the fishing company Argos Froyanes, Robert Ervik, there were 27 people on board the fishing vessel.
