ROME, Jan 5 (Hina) - Croatian ship "Nautika 74", carrying 150 tonnes of marble, turned over about 30 miles from the Italian port of Ancona Friday morning. Four members of the crew left the ship and are registered as missing. It is
assumed that the ship had turned over due to the movement of the load. The ship had five members of the crew, of whom one, most probably the captain, has saved himself by swimming toward an oil platform from where he called for help. Ancona coast guards and three merchant ships are searching for the other members of the crew. Ancona harbour officials said that good weather conditions on the Adriatic should make the search easier. The "Nautika 74" ship, sailing under the Croatian flag, was transporting cargo from the southern Croatian port of Split to Ancona.(hina) it
