Thirty-eight people have been injured when two boats collided off Hong Kong
Authorities 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.
