All 32 people who were on the Panamanian tanker Sanchi, were killed after a collision with the Hong Kong dry cargo ship CF Crystal, the BBC reports citing a statement by officials.

On January 13, we managed to find the ship's onboard logger and the bodies of the three dead. On board the tanker were 136 thousand tons of oil products.

Oil was transported from Iran to South Korea.

The clash occurred a week ago, on Saturday, about 20 hours local time (14 hours in Ukraine) off the east coast of China. Two ships collided - the Panamanian tanker Sanchi and the Hong Kong dry cargo ship CF Crystal.

The tanker passengers - 30 Iranians and two citizens of Bangladesh - were immediately declared missing, 21 crew members of the cargo ship rescued. After the collision Sanchi caught fire and burned for a week.
