NEARLY 40 rescue and fishing vessels are searching for 13 sailors lost when a fishing boat sank in the sea off east China's Zhejiang Province two days ago.

The local maritime authorities were informed about the sinking of "Jihuangyu 02698" Friday morning.

Seven crew members were saved by nearby fishing boats that morning, transferred to a rescue vessel on Friday afternoon and taken to a nearby airport by helicopter on Saturday afternoon.

They are in good health, according to the Ministry of Transport.

The 42.6 meter boat sank 130 sea miles to the east of Zhoushan City. It was registered in north China's Hebei Province.
