This is the dramatic moment P&O passengers were told that their cruiser is joining the desperate search for ‘people in the water’ after a British cargo ship sank in a North Sea crash, leaving one dead and four missing.

British-flagged vessel Verity collided with another cargo ship Polesie at around 3am this morning about 14 miles south-west of the German island of Helgoland, Germany’s Central Command for Maritime Emergencies said.

The 300ft vessel, which was carrying steel from Bremen in Germany to the British port of Immingham, sank following the impact and rescuers have launched a desperate mission to find the missing crew members.
