Oil spill being cleaned

Maritime workers cleaned an oil spill at the mouth of the Yangtze River yesterday, a day after an Iranian-registered freighter was hit by strong waves and was stranded on rocks off east China's coast.

The freighter Zoorik was stranded around 5 am Sunday at Luhuashan at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Thirty-seven people on board, including a 2-year-old boy, were rescued that day.
