Two seamen were found dead last night in the Ukrainian ship Neftegaz-67, which sank off the Hong Kong island Lantau, a representative of the Hong Kong fire service told Itar-Tass on Wednesday.
He noted that the divers managed to get inside the overturned ship through a cabin. “Divers are inside the ship. They continue the search operation for the lost crewmembers,” the officer said.
The weather off Hong Kong deteriorated on Wednesday morning, the fog appeared and it is raining, as ITAR-TASS reports.
The Ukrainian governmental committee of 20 officials headed by First Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Vasily Shevchenko arrived at the incident site on Tuesday. Ukrainian experts join the investigation into the ship wreckage and the search operation.
