Four people were saved after their ship broke in half at sea while being caught near the center of Typhoon Chaba, according rescue teams from mainland China and Hong Kong, but the chances of survival for the rest of the crew remain "very slim".
Twenty-six people remain missing after the Chinese engineering ship Fujing001 -- with a crew of 30 -- sank some 300 kilometers (185 miles) southwest of Hong Kong on Saturday, as the typhoon lashed southern China with winds of 144km/h (89.5 m/h).
While Hong Kong's Government Flying Service had pulled three people to safety on Saturday, hopes of any further survivors being found were fading after the service said on Sunday evening that the likelihood of that happening was "very, very slim."
