SINGAPORE: Three more bodies have been recovered from the waters off Pedra Branca after a Singapore-registered tugboat sunk early Wednesday morning.
This brings the death toll to 7.
Two bodies were recovered on Wednesday and another two on Thursday.
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said the search continues for the remaining four missing crew members.
Two seamen were the first to be found alive at about 9.50am on Wednesday - about five hours after the boat sunk.
All crew members are Indonesians.
The tugboat, called 'Ocean Lark' had left Batam, Indonesia and was headed to Matak, Indonesia, when the incident happened.
