A fourth crew member has been rescued after a Chinese offshore wind installation ship sank 300km off Hong Kong over the weekend. Up to 26 people remain missing.
The Fujing 001, which was working in offshore wind according to Chinese state media reports, snapped in two on Saturday during tropical storm Chaba.

The vessel was close the centre of the storm, which hampered initial rescue efforts, said state media.
Hong Kong authorities have deployed two helicopters and an aircraft for the rescue operation.
The mission is ongoing, however, local reports say authorities are doubtful of rescuing other crew members alive, according to reports.
The 204-metre ship is Chinese registered but its owner is unclear.
