The 89-metre, 2,500 tonne ship drifted for around a kilometre after the 17 crew members were rescued. It eventually settled at the beach off Tung Wan Tsai after tug boats failed to bring it under control.

The Marine Department is investigating the incident and an oil slick has been contained. It is thought that cargo had moved on board the ship, causing it to list at a 45-degree angle and take in water.

The incident is reminiscent of a vessel named ‘City of Lobito’ – a much larger cargo ship that was washed up on a Cheung Chau beach after a typhoon in 1983. Click here for more details and photos.
