Six Filipino seafarers who were rescued after their Korean-flagged fishing vessel sank in icy waters in the Southern Ocean have arrived in Manila, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday said.
They were among the 51 seafarers aboard the Oyang 70, which sank some 400 miles east of Dunedin in South Island, New Zealand last Aug. 18.
The nationalities of the crew were listed as South Korean, Indonesian, Filipino and Chinese.
The survivors, some of whom had mild hypothermia, were recovered from five life rafts by the New Zealand fishing vessel Amaltal Atlantis, it was gathered.
