Harbour rescue after boats collide

Three people were rescued from the harbour after a Hong Kong Pilots Association boat collided with a New World First Ferry off the China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui at about 10.44pm last night. Two crew members on the pilot boat sustained minor injuries in the collision. The vessel sank soon after the crash while the Macau-bound ferry, with 161 passengers and nine crew, was slightly damaged. Passengers were transferred to another ferry to Macau.
