Vessel Capsizes in Suez Gulf, Resulting in Four Deaths
Imagine a big boat, like a floating work platform, that tipped over in the Suez Gulf.
This boat had 30 people on board, and sadly, four of them have died.
The boat is owned by a company that drills for oil.
Rescue teams are still looking for three more people.
The company is working with local authorities to find out what happened.
They say the accident won't hurt their money or future plans.
The boat was located near a place in the Red Sea where oil is produced, but the Suez Canal itself is still working fine.
A vessel capsized in the Gulf of Suez, near Egypt's Gabal El-Zeit area.
The vessel, Admarine 12, was being towed and carried 30 personnel.
Four people died, and three are still missing.
The vessel is owned by ADES Holding Company and was operating in a concession with OSOCO.
