A heavily transhipped ship with nearly 16,000 sheep sank in the port of Sevakina on Sudan’s Red Sea coast on Sunday night, but the entire crew has escaped, port officials said.
According to an official who wished to remain anonymous, the Badr 1’s carrying capacity would carry up to 9,000 sheep, but it healed 15,800 sheep destined for Saudi Arabia.
According to another official, the economic and ecological consequences of the accident are a matter of concern, as the ship will be hampered by the sinking of the ship, which has thousands of drowned animals.
A major fire broke out in the same port last month, raging for several hours and causing extensive damage, but the cause of the fire is still unknown.
