NZ quits search for 18 missing from Kiribati ferry
 
 
 
 
 
 
 AP - Sunday, July 19
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - The New Zealand Air Force withdrew Sunday from a weeklong search for 18 people missing after a ferry capsized and sank near the Pacific nation of Kiribati, citing a lack of fuel, a news report said.

A New Zealand plane has been assisting local authorities in the hunt for bodies and survivors since the boat went down last Monday while ferrying passengers from the main island of Tarawa to outlying Maiana island, Radio New Zealand reported.
Twenty survivors have been retrieved and seven bodies were recovered, Neville Blakemore from New Zealand's Rescue Coordination Centre told the radio station.
New Zealand sent an Air Force C130 aircraft to help search for survivors but it returned Sunday because of limited fuel supplies in Kiribati, Blakemore said.
He said local fishing boats would continue the search.
The ferry, a 56-foot (17-meter) double-hulled canoe, capsized when the captain attempted to recover a crewman lost overboard in high waves, the report said.
