A South Korean tanker capsized off an island in southwestern Japan early on March 20, and the coast guard said seven people on board were killed. The coast guard said it received a distress call from the Keoyoung Sun chemical tanker, saying that it was tilting while taking refuge near Japan's Mutsure Island due to rough weather. The ship was completely capsized by the time rescuers arrived at the scene, the coast guard said. The ship was carrying a South Korean captain, and its crew included another South Korean national, a Chinese national and eight Indonesians, according to the coast guard.
