Seven crew were missing on Friday after a Turkish cargoship sank off Libya.

The 3,200-dwt Tinaztepe S (built 1979) went down in bad weather off Misrata, local media said.

Six other men were rescued following the incident.

The ship had been anchored off the Libyan port when its cargo of marble reportedly shifted in heavy seas.

A rescue boat brought the shocked survivors to shore.
