Shipwreck Log

The 48 meter long container feeder vessel Xin Hang 328 capsized and sank off Guangzhou, China. The Xin Hong 328 was en route to Nansha from Hong Kong with 72 containers when it suffered water ingress in the engine room. The flooding was uncontrolled and the vessel quickly developed a list.  The eight crew on board had to jump into the sea when the Xin Hang 328 capsized and sank. Reports state many containers were found floating around the area and that traffic has been disrupted.  Authorities dispatched four patrol vessels to the scene and all eight crew were rescued. No reports of injuries. Salvage efforts have begun to recover the containers.
