The ship is wanted because it sent emergency signals from the East China Sea earlier this week after a night of strong winds and rain in the area when Typhoon Maysak passed. The ship set sail from Napier in New Zealand on August 14, the voyage was estimated to take about 17 days and several Coast Guard ships and aircraft are participating in the search. It is said that 39 Filipinos, two New Zealanders, an Australian and a Singaporean were on board, as well as about 6,000 head of cattle.
The rescued man, a A crew member from the Philippines says the ship had engine trouble and capsized when it was hit by a wave, according to the Japanese Coast Guard.
According to the Coast Guard, the man was picked up from the water during the search.
Last year, the New Zealand government launched a review of the country’s live animal exports, last year worth around NZ $ 54 million, corresponding to more than SEK 315 million. This is because thousands of animals exported from New Zealand and Australia died during transport. Among other things, a conditional ban on the export of live cattle has been proposed.
– These cows should never have been in the sea. This is a real crisis, and our thoughts go out to the families of the 43 crew members who are missing from the ship. But questions remain, including why this trade can continue, says Marianne Macdonald of the New Zealand animal rights organization Safe.
Typhoon Maysak has arrived to the Korean peninsula. In many places, the previous typhoon that hit North and South Korea has not recovered.
Maysak is the ninth typhoon of the season and the fourth this year to hit Korea. It is also one of the strongest in several years and is expected to reach most of North and South Korea.
