Nine crew members stay lacking after a cargo ship capsized off Japan’s Nagasaki prefecture on Wednesday, the Japan Coast Guard advised Act Daily News.
The coast guard stated it acquired a misery sign from the Hong Kong-flagged vessel Jin Tian late on Tuesday evening because it cruised 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of the Danjo Islands within the East China Sea with a crew of twenty-two individuals aboard.
The crew – 14 Chinese and eight Myanmar nationals – are believed to have been transferred to lifeboats earlier than tough seas impacted their rescue, the Japan Coast Guard stated.
Thirteen crew members have been rescued up to now – 5 by industrial vessels cruising close by, two by Japan Air Self-Defense Force helicopters and 6 by the South Korean maritime police, the Japan Coast Guard stated.
The coast guard stated the Jin Tian had been anticipated to succeed in the port of Incheon, South Korea, on Wednesday. It left Malaysia’s Port Klang in early December, in keeping with monitoring web site MarineTraffic.
