A Marshall Islands-registered oil tanker ran aground in coastal areas off Pingtung County due to strong winds and choppy seas brought by Typhoon Morakot, the Coast Guard said Friday. Coast Guard members said they worked with firefighters to rescue the crew. All 17 crew members aboard the 4,535-ton vessel were rescued by 10 p.m. Two other ships ran aground amid blustery winds in the afternoon. They were thought to be Cambodia-registered working ships on their way from Indonesia to South Korea. The one that had problems near Fangshan Creek was closer to shore, and all 10 crew members were rescued by 4:30 p.m. All 10 people aboard the other vessel near Checheng were also rescued as of 11 p.m.
