After a collision with a tanker, the ship lay on its side and is taking on water, the Marine Traffic website reports.
According to him, the length of the tanker is 160 meters, which is twice the length of a cruise ship.
CBS, the BBC's American partner, said at least 14 people were rescued from the water after the collision.
