Search operations are under way for the fifth day off the coast of Jeju Island to locate the missing crew members of a capsized fishing boat.

The Jeju Coast Guard said Saturday that 13 vessels and two aircraft were mobilized in an overnight search but no additional sailors have been found.

The Coast Guard resumed search efforts at 7 a.m. today. Some 600 personnel including fire officials are also searching on land in Jeju City.

The 39-ton vessel was found overturned Tuesday night in waters off the Port of Jeju. Of the seven crew members, only the chef has been found dead. An object presumed to belong to the ship's stern was also found near a breakwater at Jeju Outer Harbor.
