“We received a notification from the Cambodian Police Department on Thursday night, saying that the police found a sunken ship carrying 41 Chinese citizens on board, with 18 having been rescued and the remaining 23 still missing,” the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia said in a statement.
The survivors said that the people on board departed from Guangzhou, China on Sept 11 and were in distress shortly after arriving in the waters of Preah Sihanouk province.
