The search continues without finding any missing persons yet.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Bae Minhyuk!

Is the search continuing?

[Reporter]
Search operations are still ongoing, but no missing persons have been found yet.

The families of the missing have just moved to see the search in person.

The Coast Guard announced the results of the search on the first day of the accident through a briefing today.

During the search, the patrol boat found 24 items of 7 types, including refrigerator debris and fishing nets.

In addition, we identified the location of the ship's sinking and conducted several underwater searches.

He explained that he checked the fishing net of the sunken fishing boat but did not find any missing persons.

Today, we are expanding the scope of the search by predicting where the missing people would have been washed away and searching the coast by walking and drones.

In addition, divers and equipment will be added to continue the underwater search.

As the ship has not completely sunk due to the entanglement of the fishing net, its position continues to change depending on the current.

Venus caught more catches than usual at the time of the accident?

[Reporter]
The Coast Guard is also focusing on identifying the cause of the accident.

Yesterday, the rescued crew explained the investigation based on statements made in the investigation.

I'll listen to it myself.

[Kim Dae-cheol / Jeju Maritime Police Investigation Division: It seems that more than 10,000 boxes have been captured. It's about 20kg per box. So it's about 200 tons. I think there was a lot of catch at the time, considering that there was another carrier waiting behind it.

The Coast Guard launched its first investigation into 13 rescued sailors yesterday.

The Venus ferry was found to have suddenly turned over to the right while it moved the catch to the carrier and was waiting for the second carrier.

In the Coast Guard investigation, some rescued sailors reportedly stated that the catch seemed to be the cause of the accident, which was too much to bear the weight.

As such, the Coast Guard is investigating whether the larger catch than usual is related to the ship's loss of resilience.
