Sunken ship:
rf91 United Press International
HOUSTON — Divers who
searched part of a sunken
American drilling ship off the
coast of China found a crack in
the ship, the first indication of
why the normally stable ship
may have sunk, officials said
Friday.
However, the search for sur
vivors continued. Experts sug
gested survivors may have
drifted in a liferaft to Vietnam,
where search aircraft have not
been allowed to go.
“We continue to believe sur
vivors may exist since it has been
confirmed the life boats were
launched and no bodies have yet
been located,” said C. Russell
Luids, president of Global
Marine Inc., the Houston-based
owner of the sunken Glomar
Java Sea.
A Chinese newspaper re
ported earlier this week that di
vers found the bodies of 78 crew
members trapped in the wreck
age of the ship. Global officials
denied the report and said it had
never been confirmed.
The company has refused to
release the names of the workers
aboard the ship when it went
down.
The ship carried 80 seaman
on board when it sank.
Dick Vermeer, a spokesman
for Global Marine Inc., said
Singapore-based divers had
found no bodies on the sunken
ship, but strong currents pre
vented them from entering the
heliport or pilot house.

“An inspection, limited by
strong currents and visibility of
4 feet, showed a fracture of the
hull and deck plates of the vessel
located just forward of the point
where the derrick sub structure
is attached to the hull,” Luids
said.
Luids said the fracture runs
from the deck to the bottom of
the hull.
Officials gave no explanation
for the cracks.
However, it was the first in
dication why the normally stable
374-foot Glomar Java Sea, may
have gone down Oct. 25 during
Typhoon Lex. It sank in about
300-feet of water 60 miles south
of Hainan island and about 200
miles west of Vietnam.
Officials were still hopeful
survivors might be found be
cause divers found evidence that
two covered lifeboats appeared
to have been launched on pur
pose and because weather ex
perts said it was survivors likely
drifted into Vietnam.
“The U.S. State Department
has informed us that the Viet
namese have reported searching
their waters and beaches with
out success,” Luids said.
Vietnamese officials have
promised to repatriate any sur
vivors found on their shores.
Since search crews have not
been permitted into Vietnam,
Vermeer said Global Marine was
seeking help elsewhere.
