The search for the missing man on the planet Venus...Expanding the scope

[Anchor]
A fishing boat sank in the sea near Jeju Island early yesterday morning, leaving 12 crew members missing.

Authorities continued to search at night, but there was no news of the discovery yet.

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

You haven't heard of any additional discovery yet, have you?

[Reporter]
It's been more than 30 hours since the accident.

So far, the search has continued, but no missing persons have been found.

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

It said it has mobilized more than 50 ships and 10 aircraft to search.

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 plan to expand the scope of the search by predicting where the missing people would have been washed away, and to search the coast by walking and drone.

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

Ships and nets are intertwined, and the hull sinks to a depth of more than 80 meters, making it difficult to search.

I heard that the boat suddenly turned upside down, but what's the cause?

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

A little while ago, I held a briefing at 10 o'clock to announce the investigation so far.

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.
