א שיף מיט 1,300 מענטשן געזינקן
By Jonathan Wright
CAIRO (Reuters) - A ferry carrying 1,300 passengers sank in the Red Sea overnight on a trip from Saudi Arabia to Egypt and search and rescue teams picked up dozens of dead bodies from the water, official sources said on Friday.
Some survivors were also brought ashore at the Egyptian port of Safaga, where the ferry had been scheduled to arrive at 2 a.m. (midnight GMT) on Friday morning, they added.
A search and rescue plane spotted a lifeboat near where the 11,800-tonne Al Salam 98 last had contact with shore at about 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) on Thursday evening, one official said.
Some earlier reports called the ferry the Al Salam 89 but a company official said that was a different vessel also owned by the el-Salam Maritime Transport Company.
"Dozens of bodies were picked up from the sea ... they were from the ferry," a police source at the port of Safaga said. Egyptian aircraft also saw bodies floating in the water, other security sources said.
Most of the passengers were Egyptians working in Saudi Arabia, officials said, but at this time of year many Egyptians are still on their way home from the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
The Egyptian state news agency MENA quoted official sources in Safaga as saying the ferry had sunk 57 miles from the Egyptian port of Hurghada, north of Safaga.
"Some of the passengers survived," it added.
The ferry was on a trip between the Saudi port of Duba and Safaga, both at the northern end of the Red Sea. It had originally come from Jeddah, the main port for the pilgrimage.
Coastal stations did not receive any SOS message from the crew, said Adel Shukri, the head of administration at the shipping company, which is based in Cairo.
The weather had been very poor overnight on the Saudi side of the Red Sea, with heavy winds and rain, he said. But visibility should have been good out at sea, he added.

נאר 100 מענטשן זענען לעבן געבליבן
By Jonathan Wright
CAIRO (Reuters) - A ferry carrying 1,272 passengers sank in the Red Sea overnight on a trip from Saudi Arabia to Egypt, and search and rescue teams retrieved dozens of dead bodies from the water, official sources said on Friday.
Egyptian state television quoted naval sources as saying rescue teams had also picked up 100 survivors but other official sources gave numbers between 14 and 20 for those found alive.
At least 12 survivors were brought ashore at the Egyptian port of Safaga, where the 35-year-old ferry was meant to arrive at 2 a.m. (7 p.m. EST) on Friday morning, Egyptian security sources said.
A search and rescue plane spotted a lifeboat near where the 11,800 gross ton Al Salam 98 last had contact with shore at about 10 p.m. (3 p.m. EST) on Thursday, one official said.
"Dozens of bodies were picked up from the sea ... they were from the ferry," a police source at Safaga said.
An official at el-Salam Maritime Transport Company, owner of the ferry, said it might take hours to find out what had happened to the ship, which was built in Italy in 1970 and moved to the Egyptian company in 1998.
None of the officials said there was any indication that the sinking was the result of an attack on the ferry.
Most of the passengers were Egyptians working in Saudi Arabia, officials said, but at this time of year many Egyptians are still on their way home from the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
Egypt's state news agency MENA said the passengers were 1,158 Egyptians, 99 Saudis, six Syrians, four Palestinians, a Canadian, a Yemeni, an Omani, a Sudanese and one person from the United Arab Emirates. The ship had a crew of close to 100.
The London-based Lloyds Casualty Service, citing the Egyptian defense ministry, said the ship was believed to have sunk at latitude 27.08 degrees North and longitude 34.57 degrees East, about half way through its voyage.
