Chinese officials have said that the ship is also in danger of erupting and sinking, reports the BBC.
The rescue teams that are trying to reach this country are confronted by toxic clouds, created by fire that exploded on the ship”, the Chinese Transport Ministry announced.
The crew of the ship, 30 Iranians and two bangladeses remain extinct despite international rescue efforts.
