There were eight crew members on board, seven of them have been rescued, a local fire department said. The missing captain is 64- year-old Masaichi Ando.
According to a Coast Guard official, the 988-ton vessel was anchored about two kilometers south of the Himeji Port, which lies 450 kilometers west of Tokyo. It had already unloaded heavy fuel oil at a port, but black smoke was seen billowing from the ship, up to 100-meter high.
