The freighter, named "Changying", was caught by typhoon Morakot on August 8 when it travelled from Indonesia to Taiwan.  The seamen, employed by Datong International Shipping Management Company Ltd based in Qingdao, a port city in east China's Shandong province, could not be reached ever since then, according to the press release.

Datong International Shipping Management Company Ltd has reported the shipwreck to the Qingdao City Administration which immediately mobilized rescue operation.

Relatives of the seamen were also informed of the accident.

Qingdao City has set up a working group to coordinate all sectors to search for the missing seamen and deal with matters arising from the shipwreck.
