스텔라데이지호 '블랙박스' 찾았다…항해기록저장장치 회수
A team of ocean explorers have found the voyage data recorder of the Stellar Daisy, a Korean ship that sank in the South Atlantic off the coast of Uruguay in 2017.
Authorities are hopeful it will help uncover what caused the tragedy.
However, according to our Choi Si-young it's not going to be a quick process.
South Korea's foreign ministry said Monday that part of the Stellar Daisy's hull and its voyage data recorder were found Sunday in the South Atlantic Ocean... by the American exploration company Ocean Infinity.
On March 31, 2017, the South Korean ore carrier sank off the coast of Uruguay,... while on a voyage from Brazil to China.
As a result, a total 22 of crewmen including 8 Korean nationals are considered missing.
It's a massive ship with an overall length of three-hundred-twelve meters and a beam of fifty-eight meters.
Ocean Infinity's salvage ship, the Seabed Constructor, arrived at the site where the Daisy was believed to have gone missing and found the ship just three days later.
The firm was employed by South Korea last year.
The data recorder is being transferred to a port in Uruguay and will be analyzed by the South Korean coast guard.
The authorities expect the recorder will reveal what caused the ship to sink, but a full analysis will take time.
Meanwhile, the American salvage ship will continue its search for the Stellar Daisy's main body.
