A total of 21 people were evacuated from the vessel, with the captain and chief engineer assisting search rescuers on board.
“21 out of 25 people were transferred to emergency vehicles and were picked up by Korean Coast Guard vessels. Four people have not yet been found. Presumably they continued to fight the fire,” Aleksey Kravchenko said.
