A sailor was about to descend upon the island. The defense has in vain been looking for him at sea and from the air.

A major rescue operation Wednesday in the time after the Defence operations centre at 02.30 received an emergency call from a vessel that was sinking to the east of the island.

But around at 14 informs the Defense that you have set the action.

- Unfortunately without result, sounds.

The officer, Klaus Thing Rasmussen, told the Wednesday morning of the action.

- Weather conditions right now look really easy out. There are winds from the west, so we look to the east. And it is indeed bright, which makes a big difference for us. So we do need to use the infrared cameras, he told me shortly before at nine o'clock.

the Man was alone on the boat. It is unknown, what has been the boat to sink.
