An empty French oil tanker and a Chinese cargo vessel collided off the coast of China's eastern Zhejiang province on Tuesday, Xinhua News Agency reported. Six people were missing after falling overboard from the Chinese vessel but no oil spill was reported because the tanker, the Flandre, was not carrying oil when the accident occurred at 11:10 a.m., Xinhua said, citing the Zhejiang Maritime Safety Administration.
