Mayal Argatho for the Vathoran Truth
Reports arrived in Vathora at around midnight about an incident involving the Zuivensting vessel, an Edurian vessel owned by the Achysian company Akmoyoros International. The ship had left the port of Edurre earlier in the evening, headed for the Andemyrish port of Anttu. Not much is presently known about what exactly has happened - Edurian sources seem to report that the ship put out a mayday call at 23:06, and the Edurian Coast Guard is organizing the first response. 652 souls were on board, but Akmoyoros has not yet released the full passenger and crew list. A further update mentioned that Andemyrish Coast Guard vessels were also assisting in the rescue operations, and then a final update as of 1:17 confirmed that the ship had indeed sunk.
The company was uncharacteristically quiet in the first hour after the first report was received, but a press conference was quickly organized at their headquarters, where Arghas Iyrothos, the CEO, shared a quick statement. The statement was pretty cold and factual, informing the public that Akmoyoros International had opened lines of communication with the coast guards involved in the rescue operations, and that the quick response team of the company was sent to Edurre. The company also firmly refused to take responsibility for the incident, mentioning that it will conduct an investigation of its own, but making it clear that they consider either a manufacturing defect with the ship or human error to be behind the incident.
As we await further information from the scene, we also received a statement from Zaryol Margan, the Imperial Minister of the Exterior, which confirmed that Achysia had contacted both Andemyr and Edury in order to offer them their full assistance, and that ships and helicopters of the Imperial Coast Guard Service have been dispatched to the area.

What is with that reaction from the company? The ship is pretty old, I bet they're trying to hide something
