Planes and ships from the US, Japan and Palau are taking part in the search for the Japanese-flagged Gyotoku Maru No. 1, the US Coast Guard said today.
The 15-metre tuna fishing boat capsized southwest of Palau. Japan's Kyodo News service said the ship sent a mayday signal Monday afternoon and a vessel from Japan's National Fisheries University located it the next morning.
Kyodo said the crew consists of a Japanese captain and chief engineer and five Indonesian crew members.
