SHIPPING on Belgium’s River Scheldt has been halted after a Dutch ship sank, blocking the 50-mile navigation channel to Antwerp, Reuters reports. The captain of the ship, which was transporting bricks, was the only person on board and was missing with rescue efforts underway to find him, said officials. Five to 10 boats were currently stuck behind the sunken boat but couldn’t confirm how many of those were leisure boats and how many were carrying cargo. SeaNews Turkey
