FU SHAN HAI and GDYNIA collided on 31 May at approx. 1218 hours approx. 3 nautical miles NNW of Hammer Odde on Bornholm. FU SHAN HAI got a comprehensive leakage in port side of the ship at the collision. After the collision, FU SHAN HAI stayed afloat but the bow kept sinking as the hours went by. After the collision the master realised that the ship was in danger of sinking and he transmitted a MAYDAY distress signal. At approx. 1330 hours, the crew had abandoned the ship in two life boats wherefrom they were picked up by ships that had arrived after the collision and they were sailed to Bornholm. The master, the chief officer and an engineer were transferred to a vessel where they could assist at the subsequent work.

At 2049 hours the same evening FU SHAN HAI sank. File:Fsh.jpg
