The Tanzania-flagged freighter had been off the southern port city of Kaohsiung when Taiwan was struck by Typhoon Gaemi.
The storm has also brought relentless rain to the Philippines, where a tanker carrying close to 1.5 million litres of industrial fuel has capsized.
The typhoon, which made landfall on Taiwan’s east coast on Wednesday, has killed three people and injured hundreds more on the island, officials said.

Many of those images are the Philippines, not Taiwan...Didn't the BBC have a film crew in Taiwan near where most of the action was ? Clearly not if they show images of the Philippines while talking about Taiwan !

An island both at the crossroads of tectonic plates and on the path of damaging tropical systems, Taiwan seems to have developed sturdy building codes and infrastructure that lessens the impact of strong typhoons and earthquakes...the Philippines however is not as evenly prepared.
