Mangalore Today News Network
New Delhi, Oct 13, 2017 : Search operations continued for the 11 Indian crew members who went missing after a cargo ship sank in the Pacific ocean off the Japan coast. Meanwhile, 15 crew members have been rescued, confirmed the External Affairs minister on Thursday.
“15 Indians rescued, search on for missing 11 following sinking of a ship off Okinawa. Our Missions in Japan, Philippines & China on the job,” said Raveesh Kumar, the (Ministry of External Affiars) MEA spokesperson.
The 33,205-tonne Emerald Star with 26 Indians on-board sent a distress signal on early Friday morning as a typhoon churned in the region, said Japan`s coastguard.
The Hong Kong-registered cargo ship was sailing nearly 280 kilometres (174 miles) east of the northern tip of the Philippines.
Japan dispatched two patrol boats, three planes to the site but the typhoon made rescue difficult.
