Crew members of the sunken ship have not yet returned home: some have lost their papers

The Belgian fishing vessel Sylvia-Mary Z-525 hit rocks on Monday night. Water has entered and the ship has sunk.

The Z525 Sylvia-Mary sails under the Belgian flag and has Zeebrugge as its home port, but all four crew members are from Urk, the Netherlands.

Lost papers

But a few lost their papers when the ship sank. They now have to put everything in order again before they are allowed to leave the United Kingdom.

Shipowner Pieter Kramer is going to pick them up.
