Heavy seas: A Chinese container ship has run ashore on the west coast of the Russian island of Sakhalin. On Monday afternoon, a storm had pushed the aged barge Xing Yuan against the shore of the city of Cholmsk. The 12-member crew was evacuated by the Russian coast guard. The ship was traveling without cargo but has 103 tons of fuel in its tanks. The container giant is being investigated by divers for leaks.
