The missing - 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshi citizens - are all crew members from the Panama-registered tanker SANCHI, the ministry said.

The collision took place approximately 160 nautical miles (184 statute miles) east of the mouth of the Yangtze River, at about 8 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET), it said in a statement. "There is an oil slick and we are pushing forward with rescue efforts", the ministry said, adding it had dispatched four rescue ships and three cleaning boats to the site as of 9 am, Reuters reported. The 21 Chinese crew aboard the Crystal have been rescued.
