A barge belonging to Egypt’s Offshore Shukheir Oil Company (Osoco) has capsized in the Gulf of Suez, with multiple deaths and dozens feared missing, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources confirmed late Tuesday.
The vessel, named Adam Marine 12, overturned in the Jabal Zeyt area while being towed to a new offshore worksite near the Ashrafi platform.
In a statement, the ministry said the ministers of petroleum and labour had travelled to the site to oversee rescue operations and coordinate with regional authorities and companies.
“We are following developments moment by moment,” the statement said.
While no official casualty figures have been released, Egyptian media reported conflicting numbers. Al-Shorouk said three people were confirmed dead, six rescued, and 21 still missing. Meanwhile, Youm7 reported four deaths but did not specify how many had been rescued.
Authorities have not yet commented on the reported fatalities or confirmed the total number of people on board.
