Vietnamese authorities on Friday said that a cargo ship reported missing had sunk in the South China Sea and 22 people were missing, according to dpa. "We have been in contact with the only one out of the crew of 23 that a British ship rescued," said Luu Dinh Tung, deputy director of the Vietnam Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. Dau Ngoc Hung was picked up by the London Courage. He said the Vietnamese ship, the Vinalines Queen, was listing north-east of Luzon in the Philippines before it sank rapidly in heavy seas. -- SPA
