Captain goes down with Norwegian cargo ship

The bodies of two sailors of the Norwegian cargo ship that sank off the coast of southern Vietnam have been identified as the captain and deputy captain, state media reported last week.

The bodies of Captain Ronel Acueza Andrin and Deputy Captain Jerome Maquilang Dincy were brought to southern province of Ba Ria Vung Tau on Sunday.

The Bulk Jupiter sank with 19 Philippino crewmembers off the coast of Vietnam en route from Malaysia to China.

Vietnamese rescuers and commercial ships passing through the area continued to search for the missing, according to Vietnamese authorities and the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs. The ship's chief cook, Angelito Capindo Rojas, is the only known survivor.
