Containership saved crew of burning yacht

On May 19, 2019, the "YM Excellence", enroute from Shekou to Singapore, successfully rescued two Australians who had to abandon their burning yacht. The crew of Captain Lee Chien-Sheng spotted black smoke billowing out the yacht, and soon it burst into flames. They tried to contact the yacht but in vain. Short time later they found a small boat with two persons who had managed to escape from the burning yacht. They were taken aboard and provided with water, blankets, food as well as cabin to stay. The ship reported the incident to the Australian High Commission Singapore and authorities for further arrangements to bring them home. The two Australian survivors recalled the fire went so suddenly and fast that they were unable to send out distress signals or escape with their personal belongings including identity documents. It was fortunate that the "YM Excellence" found them in time and carried out a quick and professional rescue operation.
