Skipper dead, two others missing after fishing vessel sinks off Busan, South Korea

The crew at the time of the incident consisted of two South Korean nationals, one of whom was the captain, and six Indonesian nationals.

The LPG tanker's crew pulled six of the trawler's occupants out of the water. They were then transferred to a coast guard patrol boat, which brought them to Daebyeon.

Tragically, the trawler's 62-year-old captain, who was among the recovered individuals, was pronounced deceased shortly after he was brought to hospital later that same day.
