[edit]
The New Star (新星 Xīnxīng) was a 5000-ton ship leased by a company based in Hong Kong.[1][2] There were 16 crew members, 6 Indonesian and 10 Chinese citizens.[1] The vessel was owned by Tongyu Shipping Zhejiang (浙江通宇船務有限公司) and leased to the Hong Kong–based J-Rui Lucky shipping company (香港吉瑞祥（香港）有限公司 Xiānggǎng jí ruìxiáng (Xiānggǎng) yǒuxiàn gōngsī).[2][3][4]
The RIA Novosti said crew members attempted to escape in two life-rafts after their ship was sinking. Only half of them were rescued by a Russian vessel.[1] According to Xinhua News Agency, seven sailors were still missing and only three were rescued.[1]
