South Korean Freighter With 28 on Board Missing off Japan

A South Korean freighter with a crew of 28 is reported missing in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of southwestern Japan.

A spokesman for Japan's Coast Guard says Wednesday an air search has found an empty lifeboat bearing the name of the ship and an oil slick believed to be from the freighter was sighted nearby.

No distress call was received from the ship.

There were four South Koreans and 24 crew members from Burma aboard the 22-thousand tonne ship which had been due to arrive at a port in western Japan by Tuesday evening.

Two aircraft and two patrol boats are searching for the vessel, which left the South Korean port of Incheon on Saturday.
