10 missing as 2 cargo ships collide off southwest Greece

Ten crewmembers are missing after a cargo ship sailing under a Cook Islands flag sank early on Monday off southwestern Greece after colliding with another cargo carrier, the Greek coastguard said. The Cook Islands ship, the Pirireis, collided with a ConSouth carrier sailing under an Antigua-Barbuda flag, about 75 nautical miles off the islet of Sapienza, Reuters reported. The ConSouth was not seriously damaged, and its crew of 16 is safe.
