A VIETNAMESE ship carrying 60 containers of auto parts sank off the shore of southern Vietnam after a collision with a Thai vessel, according to VietNamNetBridge.

The 16-member crew of the Truong Hai Star was rescued and authorities salvaged 30 containers, said the report. Most containers carried auto parts. The sunken vessel is reportedly worth US$2 million.

The incident comes after a cruise ship collided with a containership in fog off the Vietnamese coast on March 16. The Silver Shadow, operated by Silversea Cruises, sustained minor damage, and the cargo vessel was badly damaged, according to CNN.
