Thirteen fishermen on aboard a sunken fishing boat after a collision with a Cambodian cargo ship were salvaged by rescuers on sea areas at the Qiongzhou Straits in south China on Tuesday.

A passing-by fishing boat coming into rescue salvaged the victims. Sources with hospital in Haikou, capital of the southernmost China's Hainan Province said that the victims suffering injuries were still receiving medical treatment.

The 4,975-ton Cambodian cargo ship was en route to Vietnam. The sunken 90-ton fishing boat was registered in Hainan.

The Hainan Maritime Affairs Bureau has carried out investigation on the cause of the shipwreck accident.
