Storyline


Rescuers have decided to comb through a wider area to search the 14 sailors went missing in a ship collision accident occurred at the Yangtze River estuary close to Shanghai on Thursday morning.

The decision was made after the rescuers spotted a lifebuoy on the accident site and then figured out the possible locations where the missing sailors might have been taken to by currents based on their discovery.

"We have found a lifebuoy with the logo of the collided ship, but we haven’t found anything else new so far. We will draw the drifting direction based on the tidal especially the possible directions of the drifting objects," said Xia Darong, director of the directing center of Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration (MSA).

The rescuers are also making all-out efforts to put out a fire on one of the collided ship on which 3,000 tons of gasoline were loaded.

"Hopefully, we will cover the fire entirely with firefighting foams from the upwind direction when the wind direction suits our purpose, " said Xia.

The Shanghai maritime search and rescue center confirmed that so far there has been no oil leaks from the burning oil tanker, and four waste disposal ships are on standby in nearby waters to engage in possible oil contamination situation any time soon.

The reason of the accident is still under investigation.

An oil tanker loaded with 3,000 tons of gasoline collided with a sand carrier at the Yangtze River estuary at 3:39, sinking the sand carrier with three sailors on board and causing a fire on the oil tanker with a crew of 14.

Local authorities said as of 8:00 on Thursday rescue forces pulled three crew members out of water and the other 14 were still unaccounted for.
