A Malta-registered ship sank after colliding with a Panama-registered ship eight nautical miles South West of Pulau Pisang, Malaysia, last night.

The 23-crew members of the ship, MV Oceania, were rescued by another ship, MV Ikaruga and taken to Singapore, soon after they had left the stricken ship on two lifeboats.

Both the ships were heading to Singapore when the accident took place.
