Taipei, March 27 (CNA) The Taiwanese Navy said one of its vessels collided with a Chinese fishing boat in the early hours of Thursday in waters off central Taiwan, but no injuries were reported.
The Chung Ho-class tank landing ship, hull number LST-232, collided with the Chinese-registered "Min Lien Yu 61756" at 12:38 a.m. about 45 nautical miles off the Port of Taichung, Taiwan's Naval Fleet Command said in a statement.
The Taiwanese vessel sustained some unspecified damage, which did not compromise its navigational safety, the Navy said.
No one on either of the two boats was injured in the accident, it said.
At the Navy's request, Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration (CGA) dispatched two patrol vessels to the scene to handle the matter and collect evidence, pending an investigation, according to the statement.
