Yes, although the coast guard was contacted at about 9am. I notice on marine traffic that one of the RNLI lifeboats is returning to port. That military ship was doing 124 knots and it is a SAR helicopter, also returning to base?

Notwithstanding the human tragedy involved, it seems a curious route for AIDAperla to take … it was travelling from Hamburg to Rotterdam … should not have gone anywhere near the area of water covered by the Ramsgate lifeboat???

Heading to Canaries from Hamburg.

 

Currently showing La Coruna in Spain as next port.

Thanks. that would make more sense - News media reported it as heading from Hamburg -> Rotterdam ... which now appears to be Fake News
