The bodies of seven sailors have been found and another three remained missing following the sinking of a cargo ship off Shanghai's Wusongkou port on Sunday, according to the Shanghai Maritime Administration's Wusong branch, which is overseeing the mission.
The search will continue, it was quoted as saying in Red Star News, a Chengdu-based media organization.
Loaded with 3,000 metric tons of steel, the Shunqiang 2 collided with another cargo ship, the Yong'an, in waters off Wusongkou port at 1:30 am Sunday. The port is located at the mouth of the Huangpu River where it joins the Yangtze River.
