Ships on Tuesday combed hundreds of miles around the oil ship Sanchi, which burned days after colliding with another vessel.
BEIJING—Chinese rescue workers on Tuesday expanded their search radius as they battled strong winds and large waves to locate the crew of an Iranian oil tanker that was burning in the East China Sea days after colliding with a cargo ship.
The search-and-rescue corridor swelled to 900 square nautical miles around the Sanchi tanker, with more than a dozen ships assisting in the effort, China’s transportation ministry said in a statement.
