Rescuers find no trace of 22 missing crew days after cargo ship sinks in Bay of Bengal

NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian Coast Guard officials announced on Tuesday that no remains have been discovered in the search for 22 sailors missing since the cargo ship MV Ocean Winner sank in the Bay of Bengal on Friday. The 20 Chinese and three Myanmar crew members, along with one Bangladeshi, were aboard the vessel that was transporting iron ore to China. Only an oil slick and two life rafts were found near the ship's last known location, complicating efforts to ascertain the sinking's cause and guide search operations.
