A Vietnamese cargo ship Khoi Nguyen 18 sank near Yongshu Reef (Fiery Cross Reef) in the South China Sea.
The ship was carrying 62 crew members; 39 have been rescued, 23 remain missing.
Six Chinese vessels, a Chinese rescue helicopter, and one Vietnamese vessel are conducting search and rescue operations.
The Khoi Nguyen 18 is a Vietnamese-registered ship measuring just under 70 metres in length, according to Hainan authorities.
China claims most of the South China Sea despite an international ruling against its assertion; Vietnam has competing claims.
