A cargo ship collided with a fishing boat near the southern Chinese Hainan island on Wednesday, leaving eight people missing, as search efforts continued.
The SITC Danang container ship, flying the Panamanian flag, collided with a fishing vessel about 15 minutes after midnight (1615 GMT).
The impact caused the fishing vessel to sink, and eight individuals on board fell into the ocean.
According to the report, the incident occurred some 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the town of Yinggehai on Hainan’s far southwest coast.
After receiving notification of the incident, Hainan emergency response officials dispatched military and police search teams to the location; as of 5:30 p.m., 21 ships and five planes were at the scene.
The cause of the accident is being investigated.
