Italy has declared a formal emergency for the island where the incident occurred. This is aimed at helping operations in the area.
11 people died and 21 are missing. Meanwhile, the search for survivors had been suspended due to fears of a potential oil spill from the ship's tanks could cause an environmental disaster. Meanwhile, bad weather had suspended search operations for a while but they have now resumed.
