Aggie, [SINGAPORE] The owner of the massive semi-submersible which capsized in Indonesian waters last week has called off its search for the last remaining sailor, the company Dockwise NV said in a statement yesterday. The bodies of four crew, two Filipinos and two Dutch men, were recovered by divers last week. The vessel Mighty Servant 2, with 20 crew, had been on passage from Okpo, South Korea, bound for Cabinda, Angola. "We have been informed by the on-site dive team that having moved items of debris and re-inspected several areas of the vessel, the search operation has concluded on November 6, 1999," it said. The vessel had been transporting an offshore production module when it flooded and capsized during the night of November 1-2, seven miles south of the Indonesian island of Singkep. -- Reuters asia1.com.sg@PD>19991018?AND?@PD<19991125)'+1+2+'-PD,HDA,CO,PHA' [JAKARTA] Indonesian rescue services were still searching for three Filipinos and two Dutchmen missing after their semi-submersible heavy lift vessel sank in Indonesian waters.
