“Serious Accident in the China Sea. An Oil Tanker Loaded with Iranian Oil, Operated by the Country’s Leading Oil Transport Company, Caught Fire and Spilled Part of its Cargo on Sunday (7) After Colliding with a Chinese Bulk Carrier, Leaving the 32 Crew Members Missing. Thick Clouds of Dark Smoke Could Be Seen Coming from the Tanker Sanchi.

Rescue efforts were hampered by bad weather and the fire on the ship. The Sanchi collided with the CF Crystal about 160 nautical miles off the coast, near Shanghai, on Saturday night (6), the Chinese Ministry of Transport reported in a statement. The Panama-registered tanker was traveling from Iran to South Korea, carrying 136,000 tons of condensate, a light oil. This amounts to just under 1 million barrels, worth about 60 million dollars, based on global commodity prices.”

As of today, the body of the Deckhand who fell from a vessel servicing Petrobras has not been found, see the full article with the video report by accessing the article here as well.
