Rescue ships work to extinguish the fire on the Panama-registered Sanchi tanker carrying Iranian oil, which went ablaze after a collision with a Chinese freight ship in the East China Sea, in this January 10, 2018 picture provided by China's Ministry of Transport and released by China Daily.
A stricken Iranian oil tanker that had drifted into Japan's exclusive economic zone "suddenly ignited" at noon (0400 GMT), and was in danger of capsizing "at any time", Chinese state television said on Sunday.
The tanker has been adrift and on fire for more than a week following a collision with another vessel in the East China Sea.
