Anyone hear about the Rickmers' ship hitting another ship mid ocean?
I heard the other ship sank and the Rickmers boat had some cargo
explode, but limped into port, somewhere. I was to load the Rickmers
ship this week, but now all cargo is 'on hold' . Supposedly they are
investigating the explosion, as there should not have been any
'hazardous cargo onboard.
I heard 13 crew were lost.

14 Crewmen Missing after Ship Clash in Yellow Sea
SHINAN, South Korea, March 9 (Yonhap) -- Fourteen sailors, including
nine South Koreans and four Myanmarese, went missing in the Yellow Sea
early Tuesday after a South Korean freight ship clashed with a vessel
from the Marshall Islands and sank, the South Korean Coast Guard said
Wednesday.

The agency said the Korean freighter, Sun Cross, was heading to Japan
from China with 15 crewmen aboard when it collided with the Marshall
Islands' Rickmers Genoa at 5:45 a.m., 136 miles southeast of Qingdao,
an eastern Chinese port. Thirteen crewmen from Sun Cross went missing,
while two Myanmarese were rescued by the Rickmers Genoa, from which one
crewman out of the 27 aboard also went missing.

Not too much info. Guess I'll find out more at the docks.
