SEOUL, Mar 20 (AP): A Chinese cargo ship sank off South Korea's west coast after colliding with an anchored freighter Monday, leaving at least three crew members on the Chinese ship dead and nine others missing, the coast guard said.
The 2,972-ton Xinhai 7 was entering the port of Incheon, west of Seoul, when it slammed into the 3,980-ton Korea Gas around 4 a.m. (1900 GMT Sunday), a coast guard statement said. "The sunken vessel is presumed to have not recognized the anchored vessel and collided with it," the coast guard said.
