Indonesian authorities will continue searching on Monday for more than a hundred people still missing after a passenger ship sank in the Java Sea last week. The confirmed death toll is now at 10, according to the rescue agency. The ship, Virgo Transport 8, was carrying 243 people, including 30 crew members, when it capsized in bad weather on September 13 during a 20-hour voyage from Surabaya to Banjarmasin. Sunday's operation was hampered by strong currents, and a remotely operated vehicle will be sent to help guide divers.
