Typhoon Gaemi sinks Tanzanian cargo ship

todayJuly 25, 2024 34

Background
share close

A Tanzanian-flagged cargo ship with nine Myanmar nationals on board has sunk off the southern port city of Kaohsiung in Taiwan as a result of Typhoon Gaemi. Officials say three other foreign vessels had run aground during the typhoon, but were safe. Rescue operations have been put on hold as the winds are too strong and visibility is poor.

According to the BBC, the Tanzania-flagged freighter had been off the southern port city of Kaohsiung when Taiwan was struck by Typhoon Gaemi.

The storm has also brought relentless rain to the Philippines, where a tanker carrying close to 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel has capsized.

Sixteen crew members of the Philippine-flagged MT Terra Nova have been rescued while one remains missing, Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said.
