The Dutch coast guard says rescue helicopters evacuated all 18 crew members from a ship that was left drifting off the Netherlands coast after colliding with another ship during a powerful storm.

A freighter called the Julietta D collided with another boat about 20 miles west of the port of Ijmuiden, said Edward Zwitser, a spokesman for the Royal Dutch Lifeboat Company. The other boat, the Pechora Star, also was damaged, but was able to continue its voyage. Hours later, with winds easing in the Netherlands, the Julietta D was still drifting and the coast guard said efforts were underway to attach a line to a tugboat so that the vessel could be towed to safety.
