High Speed Collision
HONG KONG — A Chinese cargo ship laden with cement sank near Hong Kong waters early Monday after colliding with a larger container ship registered in the Marshall Islands (MOL Motivator), leaving 11 people missing and setting off a frantic search for survivors, officials said. One person was rescued following the 3 a.m. accident about three miles off Po Toi Island, which is just southeast of Hong Kong Island in the South China Sea. The Chinese cargo ship, the Zhong Xing 2, which was traveling from Hebei Province with 12 people on board, sank after the collision. “The cargo ship sank at the said location,” a spokesman for the Hong Kong police said. A fishing boat was able to rescue a crew member from the cargo ship, the spokesman said. The 46-year-old man, who was from mainland China, suffered minor injuries.
