SKorea boat sinks in Antarctic sea; 22 feared dead
A South Korean fishing boat sank in the Antarctic Ocean’s frigid waters Monday, with 22 sailors feared killed in the open sea where vessels trawl for deep-water fish.
Five sailors were confirmed dead and 20 survivors were rescued shortly after the 614-ton vessel went down some 1,400 miles (2,250 kilometers) south of New Zealand, about halfway to Antarctica, South Korea’s Foreign Ministry and coast guard said. Seventeen sailors were missing.
The search for survivors was scaled down later Monday, and rescuers said it was increasingly unlikely further survivors would be found. Two New Zealand fishing boats were released from the effort, but three Korean vessels searched on, officials said.
The trawler had 42 people on board when it sunk: eight South Koreans, eight Chinese, 11 Indonesians, 11 Vietnamese, three Filipinos and one Russian, South Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
