On Wednesday night, the container ship Yo Tai No.1. was traveling about 19.5 nautical miles southeast of Kinmen’s Liaoluo Harbor when a Chinese military vessel collided with it. The marks can be seen clearly on the front of the ship even in the dark.

Coast Guard official Chen Chien-wen said, "The two routes of the two ships intersected. When they came close to each other, they didn’t coordinate via radio communications so the bow and stern of the ships hit each other."

That’s the area where it happened off of Kinmen. The front of the container ship was punctured and not able to sail properly.    [FULL  STORY]
