(Xinhua) -- A Japanese fishing boat and a South Korean cargo ship collided in waters about 60 kilometers east of Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture in southwestern Japan early Sunday, leaving one Japanese crew member missing, according to a Kyodo News report. The No. 18 Kairyo Maru, a 16-ton fishing boat from a seafood company in Fukuoka with two crew members, and the Maruka, a 1,416- ton cargo ship from South Korea with eight crew, collided shortly after 5 a.m. local time in waters off the Nagasaki Hana lighthouse, capsizing the fishing boat and throwing its crew into the sea, the report quoted a local maritime safety agency as saying. The 46-year-old captain of the fishing boat was rescued by the cargo ship, but another man in the boat went missing. Meanwhile, all crew members of the cargo ship -- five South Koreans and three Myanmarese, were unhurt at the accident. http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/article_xinhua.asp?id=34399
