Tokyo/Wellington — More than 40 crew members were missing after a ship carrying cattle from New Zealand to China capsized in stormy weather in the East China Sea, the Japanese coastguard said.
Sareno Edvarodo, a 45-year-old chief officer from the Philippines, was rescued on Wednesday night, Japan’s coastguard said. By Thursday evening, he was still the only person rescued so far, a coastguard official said, adding the carcasses of some cattle had been recovered. When the ship capsized, crew were instructed to put on life jackets. Edvarodo told the coastguard he jumped into the water and did not see any other crew members before he was rescued.
The 139m Panamanian-flagged vessel was built in 2002 and the registered owner is Amman-based Rahmeh Compania Naviera, according to Refinitiv Eikon data. The ship manager is Hijazi & Ghosheh. “These cows should never have been at sea,” said campaigns manager Marianne Macdonald. “This is a real crisis, and our thoughts are with the families of the 43 crew who are missing with the ship. But questions remain, including why this trade is allowed to continue.”
