Dutch Rescuers Suspend Search for Sailboat With Four People Missing in North Sea
Dutch rescue teams have suspended a large search for the sailboat Luna, which went missing in the North Sea with four people onboard. The boat was last reported north of the Dutch island of Terschelling, on a route towards Germany and Norway, after it had been out of contact for about 24 hours. The Dutch Coast Guard and rescue organisation KNRM searched around the Wadden Islands using rescue boats, a helicopter and an aircraft. They found no trace of the vessel. Authorities said the search area had been checked, but losing phone service at sea does not necessarily mean the crew is in danger. The Coast Guard has asked other vessels in the area to watch for Luna and notified German and Danish maritime authorities. There is no confirmed information about the boat or its passengers.
