Fishing boat sinks off Busan, missing... Search begins for second day

The search for missing persons following the sinking of a fishing boat off the coast of Busan continues into the second night. The Ulsan Maritime Police Station said six ships (including the Maritime Police) are in the waters where the accident occurred.
On the 20th, the government announced that it would launch a nighttime search operation using four ships (including one government ship and one naval vessel). The search area will be within a 27.8km radius of the accident site.
Winds of 6 to 11 meters per second were blowing in the sea area, causing waves up to 2 meters high. Police are searching for traces mainly on the sea. One survivor said, "Everyone was holding on to floating objects."
Based on the statements of the two men, it is considered unlikely that the missing person is near the hull on the seabed. The Busan-registered 79-ton bottom trawler A was located east of SEONGJONG at around 11:52 a.m. the previous day.
The vessel, which departed from Busan South Port at around 11:04 a.m., sank 61.6 kilometers offshore with three South Koreans and five Indonesians on board.
Seven of them, three Koreans and four Indonesians, were rescued with the help of a nearby fishing boat. The Korean captain, in his 60s, was in cardiac arrest.
He was seen by a doctor and taken to hospital, but died. One Indonesian crew member is still missing.
