Five Polish sailors die off the coast of Portugal after merchant ships collide

Five Polish sailors, including two from Gdynia, died when the Norwegian merchant ship "Nordfrakt", sank off the Portuguese coast. The ship was heading to London from Spain. At the mouth of the Tag River near Lisbon a bigger ship hit it as both captains failed to follow water tracks. Rescue teams have found only safety jackets and parts of the ship and chances of finding any survivors are decreasing. In such cold water circumstances humans can only survive for eight hours.
