Australia and US to search for Kiribati ferry
(MENAFN) Australia and the US will be taking part in the search of survivors from a ferry that sank near the remote Pacific nation of Kiribati, after the rescue of seven people.
A New Zealand military plane used radar when it found a wooden dinghy on Sunday, more than a week after a ferry carrying about 50 people between two Kiribati islands went missing.
The survivors said that the ferry had sunk and that they had drifted for four days on the lifeboat with no water.
According to New Zealand's Rescue Coordination Centre, an Australian maritime jet and a US Coast Guard C-130 Hercules are planned to join the search by Tuesday.
