BEIJING: There were no survivors after a fishing vessel carrying 17 Chinese, 17 Indonesian and five Filipino crew members capsized last week in the Indian Ocean, according to an initial Chinese government investigation report released on Tuesday.
“From an analysis of the ship’s capsizing, the timing of the incident, the structure of the hull and previous diving operation, the remaining space in the shipwreck with air that can support human life is extremely limited, and it is preliminarily judged that there are no survivors from the ship,” Beijing’s transport ministry said.
