Search Resumes For Missing Trawler And Fishermen

A major search operation for a trawler and four fishermen missing off the Kent coast has resumed this morning.

An air and sea search was launched on Wednesday afternoon following reports the Belgian fishing boat was missing in rough seas and gale force winds.

The first search operation was stood down in the early hours of Thursday due to the weather conditions.

Dover Coastguard said the search would resume at 10:00 this morning and confirmed no trace of the vessel has yet been found.
