A fire aboard a chemical tanker anchored at the Port of Yeosu has left one man dead, after the blaze spread to a nearby delivery vessel in the early hours of Saturday.
The captain of the smaller ship, a man in his 50s, was killed in the fire despite efforts to evacuate all crew members.
The incident was first reported at about 01:00 on Saturday morning when a blaze broke out on an unidentified chemical tanker.
