The 116 meter long ro-ro passenger ship  Yun Hai ran aground in the Taiwan Strait off Penghu Island, Taiwan. The Yun Hai was en route  to Indonesia from Fuzhou when it lost power and drifted onto an offshore reef. The Taiwanese Coast Guard dispatched a helicopter to the scene and airlifted all 11 crew to safety.  The vessel had no passengers on board.  No reports of injuries.  Reports state the vessel only has 145 tons of fuel on board at the time as it had been recently sold to new owners in Indonesia.
