    All 6 Russian crew members of the Gibraltar-flagged cargo ship, Phantom, were safely rescued from the Baltic after a mayday was issued when the ship began developing a dangerous list shortly after sailing from Oskarshamn, Sweden, for Morocco. The crew is recovering in hospital from hypothermia, having had little opportunity to don their survival suits, so rapidly did the incident develop.
