In accordance with Section 51(1) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, Mr Pyrke this (Friday) afternoon appointed a Senior Surveyor of Ships, Mr John McPartland, to conduct the preliminary inquiry.
The ship had a crew of 27. Only the chief engineer is a Hong Kong resident and the rest came from China.
According to reports received by the Marine Department, two ships had sunk in a storm and five bodies have been recovered from beaches south of Constanta of which three were identified as ethnic Chinese.
