Thank your lucky stars






According to Xinhua
All 13 crew members aboard a small oil tanker that ran aground off Kaohsiung Harbor in southern Taiwan have been rescued, according to coast guard officials of Taipei on Wednesday.

The officials said the 1,685-ton Bolivia-registered oil tanker "Lucky Star" sent out a call for assistance Monday morning. Nine of the crew members, including the captain, are Indonesian, and the other four are Chinese.

The oil tanker has only a small amount of fuel oil aboard, and the coast guard is continuing to monitor the ship to detect and deal with an oil spill if it occurs.
