LONDON (Reuters) - The body of one crew member has been found aboard an Iranian oil tanker that is still ablaze after colliding with a grain ship off China’s east coast, an Iranian official said on Monday.

Mohammad Rastad, head of Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organisation, was quoted as saying by ISNA news agency that the body was sent to Shanghai for identification.

Rescue crews are trying to bring the blaze under control and find the 32 missing crew.</s>The body of a crew member has been found on a burning oil tanker off China's east coast.

The victim was among 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis missing after the tanker Sanchi collided with a grain ship 160 miles off Shanghai on Saturday.

Mohammad Rastad, head of Iran's ports and maritime organisation, told ISNA news agency that the body has been sent to Shanghai to be identified.

The other Sanchi crew members have not yet been found.

Meanwhile, experts are trying to bring the fire under control and contain the leaking oil, amid concerns the ship might explode and sink.

The Sanchi had been travelling from Iran to South Korea, carrying 136,000 tons (nearly one million barrels) of condensate, a sort of ultra-light oil.

Condensate is very low density, highly toxic and more explosive than normal crude.

Most types of condensate are colourless and virtually odourless, making them difficult to see and contain after a spill.

According to the South Korean Coast Guard, much of the condensate may have evaporated or burned immediately, but the Sanchi's own fuel - which will be heavier - will be more difficult to deal with.

Rescuers from three countries - China, South Korea and the US - are trying to find the missing crew.

The flames and poisonous gases coming from the wreck are making the search difficult, however.

The 21 Chinese crew on the grain ship - Hong Kong-registered CF Crystal - were all safely rescued.

The cause of the collision is not clear.</s>Poor conditions, with heavy winds, rain and high waves, continue to hamper efforts to tame the fire and search for the 31 remaining crew members on the tanker, the Ministry of Transport said in a statement.

The body of a crew member was found on Monday in the water near the tanker, the ministry said. It had been handed over to the civil affairs bureau.

Concerns were growing that the tanker may explode and sink while a flotilla of 13 search and rescue vessels comb a 900-square-nautical-mile area around the ship for the crew. The tanker hit a freight ship on Saturday night in the East China Sea and burst into flames after spilling oil.</s>A Jet Airways crew member has been arrested for carrying US dollars worth Rs 3.21 crore on board a New Delhi-Hong Kong flight at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Along with the crew member, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) also arrested the supplier.

"US Dollars valued at Rs. 3.21 crore recovered from a lady crew member of a Hong Kong-bound Jet Airways flight last night at Indira Gandhi International airport," the DRI said in a statement.

According to DRI officials, the woman crew member was part of a scheme to bring gold to the country in exchange for black money. After the interrogation, the officials got hold of a travel company owner, who is believed to be the mastermind.

"The travel company owner used to collect money from businessmen in New Delhi and give it to the crew member. She used to hand over the money to someone in Hong Kong. The gang would then bring in gold illegally to convert the black money into white. At least 10 businessmen and some other airline crew members are on our radar," a DRI official told the Hindustan Times.

The officials also said that the crew member had been smuggling black money for at least one month now and gets around one percent of the total money. She wrapped the large sum of money in a foil paper, which the airport scanner was not able to detect easily.

Jet Airways confirmed the arrest and said the airline will take action against the crew member based on the investigation.

"During an inspection by the DRI team on January 8, 2018, a large sum of foreign currency was recovered from an employee of the airline. The employee has been taken into custody. Based on the investigations and inputs from law enforcement agencies, the airline will take further action," a Jet Airways spokesperson said in a statement.

This is not the first time that a Jet Airways crew member has been arrested for smuggling black money. In 2016, a crew member was arrested for carrying US dollars worth Rs 2.6 crore to Hong Kong to bring gold.</s>New Delhi: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence has recovered US Dollars valued at Rs 3.21 crore from a lady crew member of a Hong Kong-bound flight at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport.

According to ANI, the crew member and supplier - identified as Amit - have both been apprehended and further investigation is underway.

The arrest was made on the intervening night of January 7-8, 2018. The arrested lady crew member is associated with the Jet Airways.

''During an inspection by the DRI team, a large sum of foreign currency was recovered from an employee of the airline. The employee has been taken into custody,'' Jet Airways said in a statement. ''Based on the investigations and inputs from law enforcement agencies, the airline will take further action."

According to reports, the arrested woman crew member was part of an elaborate scheme to bring back gold to the country in exchange for black money. Sources have revelated to Zee News that the said crew member was befriended by Amit and convinced to ferry the money. She was to get one per cent of the total money smuggled and it is learnt that in seven trips to Hong Kong in the last two months, has smuggled $10 lakh dollars.

She allegedly kept the money in foil paper, which the scanner at the airport was not able to detect easily.</s>A Delhi-based crew member of Jet Airways has been apprehended with US$480,200 (valued at Rs 3.21 crore) on board a Delhi-Hong Kong flight in a late-night raid on Sunday by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), officials from the agency said.

DRI officials said the initial investigation suggested the woman crew member was part of an elaborate scheme to bring back gold to the country in exchange for black money. The interrogation of the crew member has led the DRI to a travel company owner, who appears to be the mastermind of the scheme, the officials said.

“The travel company owner used to collect money from businessmen in Delhi and give it to the crew member. She used to hand over the money to someone in Hong Kong. The gang would then bring in gold illegally to convert the black money into white. At least 10 businessmen and some other airline crew members are on our radar,” a DRI official, who asked not to be named, told Hindustan Times.

Investigators said that they had discovered that the crew member used to get one per cent of the total money smuggled and that she had been doing this for at least one month.

“She kept the money in foil paper, which the scanner at the airport was not able to detect easily,” the official added.

A Jet Airways spokesperson confirmed the incident. “During an inspection by the DRI team on January 8, 2018, a large sum of foreign currency was recovered from an employee of the airline. The employee has been taken into custody. Based on the investigations and inputs from law enforcement agencies, the airline will take further action,” the spokesperson wrote in a statement.</s>A crew member of a private airlines was apprehended after Rs 3.2 crore in dollars was found on him. The Delhi based crew member was found with US dollars 480,200 on him.

The raid was conducted by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence after it was found that the crew member was carrying the money on a Delhi-Hong Kong flight.

It was found based on initial assessment that the lady was part of a plan to bring back gold to the country in exchange for black money. The mastermind of the operation was found to be a travel company owner. He would collect money from businessmen in Delhi and handed it over the crew member. She would in turn hand over the money to a person in Hong-Kong.

They would then bring back gold illegally into the country and then convert the black money into white, the probe has also found. The DRI is currently on the hunt for 10 more persons and other crew members.

It was found during her questioning that she would get one per cent of the total money smuggled. The money would be wrapped in foil paper so that it could not be easily detected.

The accident caused a massive fire onboard the 'Sanchi,' forcing the tanker to tilt to the right. Though 'CF Crystal' was also damaged in the incident, its 21 crew were quickly rescued by East China Sea patrol boats."Most of the crew [on the tanker] were Iranians and, as no one can approach the ship from a 1km distance (because of the big fire that started after the collision), acquiring any information about the situation of the passengers and crew is difficult," Deputy Foreign Minister Hassan Qashqavi told Fars News Agency on Sunday.The 'Sanchi' tanker, operated by Iran's Glory Shipping company, was on its way to deliver 136,000 tons of condensate - a type of ultra-light oil - to South Korea.
