MMEA recommends righting MV Tung Sung to recover 8 missing crew

SEBUYAU: The process of righting the vessel is the best option to locate all the eight missing crew in the capsize of MV Tung Sung ship, about four nautical miles northwest of Pulau Burung near Sebuyau waters on Wednesday.

Sarawak Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) director First Admiral Zin Azman Md Yunus said since the rescue operation is high risk, the shipping company has to appoint a contractor capable of carrying out the floatation process of the vessel which has keeled over.
