Chinanews, Nanning, Nov. 27 – According to Nanguo Morning News, fishers from Hepu, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous¹ Region, recently captured a foreign tugboat when local marintime authority asked them where the tugboat came from, the fishers could only answer how it was found last Sunday. To their astonishment², when they approarched the tugboat in the midnight, and when they determined³ to ask compensation from the tugboat, they found that there were no crew members on the boat. They could not but take the boat to the local marintime authority.

A graduate from Dalian Marintime University said that it was a new tugboat, as “AL JABER 50　ABU DHABI” were freshly painted on the boat. He dreamed that the boat might have been pushed to the sea accidentally. Currently the authority is still trying to find out which country it belongs to.
