Authorities have confirmed that 38 people were injured when two boats collided off Hong Kong
Officials told AFP the collision occurred late Wednesday near the outlying island of Cheung Chau between a mainland Chinese vessel and a high speed Macau ferry.
The injured were taken to Cheung Chau hospital.
Last November, a high-speed ferry travelling from Hong Kong to Macau collided with an “unidentified object” injuring 87 people.
It came a year after a ferry crash claimed 39 lives – the city’s worst maritime disaster for more than 40 years.
