Images taken of the rescue operation show dozens of passengers escaped the sinking ship by abseiling down its side, while a swarm of boats can be seen waiting to collect those who then jumped into the water below.<\/p>\n

The listing was caused by an imbalance in the loading of the 400ft ship, which was transporting 62 vehicles when it set off,Sindonews.com<\/a>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

It was also claimed it collided with a submerged object – tearing a hole in its hull and filling it with water.<\/p>\n

Emergency services, along with nearby fishing ships, helped to pull survivors from the water before the boat completely sank.<\/p>\n
