TSU (Japan), Feb 20 (Bernama-Kyodo) — Two people were killed after a cargo ship collided with a sport fishing boat off Mie Prefecture in central Japan on Friday, Kyodo News reported citing the local coast guard and fire department.<\/p>\n

The two victims were among 13 aboard the fishing boat, which split into two in the accident.<\/p>\n

Ten others sustained injuries, while one missing person was later rescued, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The captain of the cargo ship reported the collision to the coast guard at around 12.55pm.<\/p>\n

The 499-tonne, 71-metre cargo vessel is believed to have struck the right side of the smaller fishing boat.<\/p>\n

After departing from a nearby port in Mie’s Toba before noon, the 16-tonne, 15-metre boat was anchored for fishing at the time of the accident, according to local residents citing coast guard and passenger accounts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The cargo vessel was headed to a port in Okayama Prefecture, western Japan, with all six crew members, including one trainee, unharmed, the operator said.<\/p>\n

“They were shivering and trying to warm themselves with blankets and hand warmers,” a 66-year-old man said after seeing those who were rescued.<\/p>\n
