A Norwegian shipping company said Saturday that one if its cargo vessels had sunk off the coast of Vietnam and that only one of the 19 Filipino crew members was known to have survived. The shipping company, Gerbulk, said that the vessel was 155 nautical miles off Vietnam, headed to China from Malaysia, with a cargo of bauxite when it sent a distress signal that was picked up by the Japanese Coast Guard. A Vietnamese official said rescue operations were hampered Saturday by hazy weather and high waves.
