ONE OF THREE KILLED SEAMEN IDENTIFIED IN ANCONA

SPLIT, Jan 6 (Hina) - Port authorities of the Italian Adriatic city of Ancona has informed their colleagues in Split that one of the three seamen, who lost their lives in Friday's tragedy when a Croatian ship overturned 30 miles off Ancona, has been identified. According to the information. the identified victim is Dusko Vukovic (aged 26), a steersman from the village of Krilo Jesenice outside Split. He was identified thanks to documents found with the corpse, Split port authorities told Hina on Saturday morning. The other two victims have not yet been identified as no documents have been found on them, and members of their families will be asked to help establish their identities. According to information from Ancona, one found victim is old between 45 and 50 years and the other between 55 and 65. For the time being it is known that only one member of the five- strong crew of the 'Nautika 64' vessel, survived. The 36-year-old Vukovic, who saved himself by swimming for two hours until he reached an oil platform, was hospitalised in Ancona yesterday and returned to Split this morning. Until 11.00 am Saturday the fifth member was not located. He is being traced by Italian harbour authority patrol boats, helicopters and other vessels. The search resumed this morning and a Croatian salvage ship 'Zadar' joined the Italian rescue team. It is believed the ship, which sailed out from the Croatian port of Split with 150 tonnes of marble, capsized due to the shifting of the cargo on deck, on early Friday morning. A commission, which has been set up by Croatia's Transport and Maritime Affairs to establish causes and circumstances of the tragedy, is being checking all relevant papers and information. (hina) ms
