An Egyptian dredger has sunk in the Suez Canal, leaving two people dead and up to six others missing, Aljazeera says.
Aljazeera’s correspondent in Cairo said the dredger sank early morning on Wednesday near Ismailiya, north east of the Egyptian capital.
Fifty sailors were on board the vessel Khattab when the incident occurred.
Agencies said navigation was interrupted both ways in the canal by a rescue operation to find between three and five missing crew members.
The other sailors were safely brought back to shore.
The exact cause of the incident was not immediately clear but a collision with another ship was not ruled out, a canal authority official said.
Disasters
Egypt has been hit by a series of major transport disasters in recent months.
More than 1,000 people had died when a ferry sank in the middle of the Red Sea in February, in one of the worst maritime tragedies in recent years.
Last month, 58 people were killed in the Nile Delta town of Qalyoub when two commuter trains collided in Egypt’s worst railway accident in four years.
A day later, 11 Arab-Israeli tourists were killed in a bus accident in the Sinai peninsula.
