Deadly Silence on the Water A fire broke out on the Ocean Melody, a foreign flagged cargo ship docked in Qingdao, one of China's busiest ports, killing 25 people.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about lax safety standards in the industry and raises questions about the country's commitment to safety regulations.
