According to the Secretariat of the Special Committee on Sanchi Oil Tanker, the bodies are identified as “Milad Arvi”, “Majid Naghian”, and “Mohammad Kavousi”, a Farsi report by IRNA said.
On 6 January, the Panamanian-flagged, Iranian-owned oil tanker Sanchi, with a full natural-gas condensate cargo of 136,000 tonnes (960,000 barrels) was sailing from Iran to South Korea when it collided with the Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship CF Crystal 160 nautical miles (300 km) off Shanghai, China.
The Sanchi caught fire shortly after the collision; after burning and drifting for over a week, it sank on 14 January. None of the Sanchi’s 32 crew members survived.
