Revealed: the final call home made by captain of cattle ship that sank off Japan

Dante Addug called his partner as water entered the Gulf Livestock 1 cargo ship but family has not heard from him since

The last time the captain of the Gulf Livestock 1 spoke to his partner, Typhoon Maysak was battering the ship and water was already flowing in. It was 8.30pm on Tuesday.

“He informed her that water had entered the ship. The last thing he said was he will go to the bridge to check the situation,” Maya Addug-Sanchez, the captain’s sister, told the Guardian. Addug’s family hasn’t heard from him since.
