The bodies of two more sailors have been found off the east coast of China after Thursday's shipwreck. 31 others are still missing from the Panamanian-registered freighter, which hit a reef off Fujian province.

Over 2,000 rescue workers and dozens of ships and helicopters are taking part in the search. The East China Sea Salvage Bureau under the Ministry of Communications has dispatched a team of fourteen divers and engineers to help. The rescue operation has been extended to a wider area, including nearby islands. So far, the bodies of six crewmembers have been recovered. Two men have been found alive.
