TOKYO, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The Japanese coastguard said on
Friday it was still searching for more than 40 crew members who
went missing after a ship carrying cattle from New Zealand to
China capsized in stormy weather in the East China Sea.
A lone crew member from the Gulf Livestock 1, which went
missing on Wednesday, has been rescued so far. Three vessels,
four airplanes and two divers were taking part in the search,
the coastguard said.
UAE-based Gulf Navigation issued a statement saying the
Panamanian-flagged Gulf Livestock 1 was their vessel.
"Our hearts go out to those onboard and their families at
this time," a Gulf Navigation spokesman said. "We also express
deep regret for the sad loss of the livestock on board. We are
monitoring the situation closely and working closely with those
involved in rescue efforts. We pray that there are other
survivors."
The ship, with a cargo of nearly 6,000 cows, sent a distress
call from the west of Amami Oshima island in southwestern Japan
on Wednesday as Typhoon Maysak lashed the area with strong winds
and heavy seas.
Sareno Edvarodo, a 45-year-old chief officer from the
Philippines, was rescued on Wednesday night, Japan's coastguard
said. By Thursday evening, he was still the only person rescued
so far, a coastguard official said, adding the bodies of some
cattle had been recovered.
The crew of 43 was made up of 39 people from the
Philippines, two from New Zealand, and two from Australia, the
coastguard said.
The coastguard quoted Edvarodo as saying the ship lost an
engine before it was hit by a wave and capsized.
