12 crew members rescued from ship as Typhoon Wutip approches

Sanya, June 13 (UNI) Twelve crew members were rescued from a ship in south China's island province of Hainan early Friday morning as Typhoon Wutip approaches, said local authorities.
The Nanhai Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Transport received messages on Thursday evening that, due to Wutip, 12 people on a cargo ship about 14 nautical miles (about 26 kilometers) off a headland in southwestern Hainan needed evacuation.
The rescue vessel departed at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday and arrived at the site at 11:50 p.m., where gales generated waves as high as three meters. Rescuers managed to lift those crew members to safety 43 minutes later, and they are expected to return to an anchorage at noon on Friday.
