| There is a crippled freighter as well with 22 people floundering around somewhere offshore. |
| At that time nearly all freight was carried by sailing vessels but the small freighter had begun to make an appearance. |
| The authorities are worried that the freighter could break up and leak huge amounts of oil and diesel into the ocean. |
| He placed a foot on the first rung of the ladder on the side of the freighter and began to climb, hefting himself up onto the roof. |
| He lifted it up and placed it against the massive gash in the hull of the freighter. |
| The Norwegian freighter has no doctor and only enough food and facilities for 27 officers and crew. |
