The Bo Yun 018 quickly sank after the collision. The Dream Diva suffered damage to its fuel tank releasing fuel into the water. Two of the 10 crew on board the Bo Yun 018 were rescued. No reports of injuries on the Dream Diva. Authorities have dispatched several ships to search for the eight missing crewmen. Crews have been dispatched to handle the fuel spill and clean up efforts.
