The families of two Australians on board a livestock ship that capsized in the East China Sea continue to wait for answers, as Japanese authorities confirm a survivor from the disaster has died in hospital.
Queensland vet and father-of-one Lukas Orda and an Australian stockhandler, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, were among 43 people on board the Jordanian vessel Gulf Livestock 1 en route to China from New Zealand.
Three vessels, one aeroplane and two divers were taking part in the search for the Gulf Livestock 1, which went missing on Wednesday after it sent a distress call as Typhoon Maysak lashed the area with strong winds and heavy seas. "Our hearts go out to those onboard and their families at this time," a Gulf Navigation spokesman said.
Sareno Edvarodo, a 45-year-old chief officer from the Philippines, was rescued on Wednesday night, Japan's coastguard said.
