Stricken cargo ship “Modern Express” is seen in the Atlantic Ocean off France, in this January 30, 2016 picture provided by France's Marine Nationale. The distressed ship was about 100 kilometres from the resort town of Arcachon on January 31, 2016 and would hit the French shore some time between Monday evening and Tuesday evening unless a last salvage effort is successful. The 164-metre-long Modern Express, which was transporting 3,600 tonnes of wood along with construction machinery from Gabon to France, has been drifting towards the coast since its crew was evacuated by helicopter last week.
