WELLINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - The Japanese coastguard is
looking for a cargo ship carrying livestock and dozens of crew
members that went missing after issuing a distress signal due to
typhoon Maysak, Japanese public broadcaster NHK said.
The Panamanian-registered vessel called Gulf Livestock 1
sent the distress call from the East China Sea, to the west of
Amami Oshima Island in southwestern Japan, NHK said.
The vessel was believed to be carrying 5,800 cows and 43
crew members, which included 39 from the Philippines, two from
New Zealand, and at least one from Australia.
Strong winds and rains from typhoon Maysak lashing the
region were hampering rescue efforts for the ship, which was on
its way to China from Napier in New Zealand. The New Zealand
foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
NHK reported later the coastguard had spotted a person
adrift wearing a life jacket, as well as an object that looked
like a lifeboat while searching for the ship.
