Rescuers are searching for 16 sailors from an South Korean-based cargo ship. Their vessel went missing after colliding with a ship run by a Chinese company early on Saturday.

Seven of the missing crew are from South Korea, eight from Myanmar, and one from Indonesia.

The "Golden Rose" was carrying steel, and was heading from China to South Korea. It sank off the coast of China's Shandong province.

Rescue teams have found two life rafts and some debris from the "Golden Rose". Foggy weather is being blamed for the accident.
