One dead, 12 missing in Philippine ship sinking
MANILA (AFP) - – One sailor was found dead and 12 others were missing more than a day after a cargo ship sank in rough seas off the Philippine coast, authorities said Monday.
Three people, including the ship's captain, were rescued and one body recovered, but bad weather delayed further search operations for the 12 missing crew members, a navy spokesman said.
"While we are yearning to search and rescue the crew... we would like also to ensure the safety of rescuers," Lieutenant Colonel Edgardo Arevalo told reporters.
Two planes had to abort their search mission due to strong winds, but a team of navy commandos and other rescuers were ready for immediate dispatch as soon as sea conditions improved, Arevalo said.
The MV SF Freighter, with 16 Filipino crewmen, radioed a distress call on Saturday after its engine faltered while it was being battered by heavy waves off the central island of Dos Hermanas, the coast guard said in a statement.
The vessel was laden with steel and was en route to the port city of Cebu when it radioed its last position.
According to the coastguard report, the vessel sank shortly after last contact and the captain ordered the crew to abandon ship.
The coastguard and navy gave no details as to how the three sailors were rescued.
