QINGDAO -- One person has been rescued and nine others remained missing after a fishing boat sank Saturday in waters off east China's Shandong Province, local maritime authorities said Sunday.
The boat, Lurongyu-0911, sank on Saturday morning in waters about 60 sea miles east of Weihai City due to strong gales and high waves, according to the Shandong Maritime Safety Administration.
Eleven vessels, including rescue ships and nearby cargo and fishing ships, have been organized to search for the missing. Search and rescue efforts were still underway by Sunday afternoon.
Separately, a flat-bottomed cargo boat carrying 11 people capsized early Sunday morning in central China's Hunan Province, leaving eight passengers missing.
