Two ships collided off the south central coast on Wednesday night, causing one to sink and posing an oil spill risk.

 

The collision between the northbound Hai Dat 36, carrying 2,500 tons of rice, and the southbound Phuc Tinh 26, carrying 3,260 tons of metal sheets, happened at Phan Rang Gulf of Ninh Thuan Province, about 12 kilometers from the shore.

 

The vessel carrying metal sheets sank as a result, with eight crew members abandoning ship, before being rescued by the other ship. They were later taken to Cam Rang Port of Khanh Hoa Province nearby.
