Chinese Ambassador to Iran Pang Sen sincerely laments the crew members' deaths, and extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims.
The Panama-registered Iranian oil tanker, Sanchi, collided with a Hong Kong cargo ship on Jan. 6, 160 nautical miles (296 km) from China’s east coast near Shanghai, and caught fire shortly after the collision. Its entire crew of 30 Iranian and two Bangladeshi seafarers perished. After burning and drifting for over a week, the Sanchi sank on 14 January.
