Posted on June 16, 2008 by Maritime Lawyer
A Taiwanese fishing boat sank near islands in the East China Sea on June 10 after colliding with a Japanese patrol vessel. All 16 people on board the Taiwanese vessel were rescued and have been returned to Taiwan. Japanese maritime safety authorities have said the captains of both the coastguard vessel and the Taiwanese fishing boat were suspected of "professional negligence and endangerment".  Japan calls for calm as rising protests surround the incident.
