The commander declined to speculate if the crew members might still be alive, but said as long as the ship had air inside, the sailors had a chance. Divers had knocked on the vessel's hull but had yet to get any response from inside, Wong added. The ships collided at around 9 p.m. on Saturday, but divers were only sent to look for the vessel four hours later because they could not find the ship at the location given by marine police. It was possible the vessel had been swept along by strong currents while it was sinking, Wong said.
