(Reuters) - A Panama-flagged tanker carrying around 99,000 metric tons of oil lost speed and was drifting off Germany's Baltic Sea coast near the island of Ruegen, prompting emergency services to take control and send a tug boat, emergency services said on Friday.

"The tug boat Bremen and a specially trained team that can abseil down to the stricken vessel to establish a tow connection have also been alerted," a statement by the Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (CCME) said.

The CCME did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
