<p>The Hong Kong Flying Service did not give the name or origin of the vessel.</p>
<p>It said in a statement that crew members were negotiating difficulties brought on by Severe Tropical Storm Chaba, which was packing maximum winds of 68 miles per hour.</p>
<p>The storm is expected to make landfall in the western part of the coastal province of Guangdong later Saturday.</p>
