The Albanian coastguards have saved a tourist yacht with six persons on board.
The yacht with the British flag was risking to sink, after a problem in the motor. They were obliged to launch the SOS signal that was captured by the Albanian coastguard.
The five Russian and one British citizens that were sailing with the yacht were going to Montenegro from Greece, but 5 miles from the Selita Cape and 15 miles from the Albanian coastlines, they identified problems in the motor.
Vessel R-117 of the Northern Fleet accompanied the 18 meters long yacht to the Durres port, where it is being repaired.
