DFA: Japan to conduct aerial search for missing crewmen of Panamanian cargo vessel
Search and rescue operations for the 40 missing crew of the capsized Gulf Livestock 1 in the East China Sea remain suspended by the Japanese Coast Guard due to Typhoon Haishen.
The ship, carrying 43 crew members and nearly 6,000 cattle, sent a distress call last Wednesday as Typhoon Maysak lashed the area.
Two Filipino survivors, chief officer Eduardo Sareno and Jay-Nel Rosales, have been rescued, and another crew member was found dead.
The crew comprised 39 Filipinos, two New Zealand nationals, and two Australians.
The vessel had reportedly experienced engine problems prior to its voyage from Napier, New Zealand, to China.
The DFA is coordinating with Japanese authorities, the shipowner, and the manning agency to support the Filipino seafarers and their families.
