The family of a man missing after the livestock export ship he was on capsized and sank in the East China Sea says the government is not doing enough to find him.
Father of two, Scott Harris, was one of two New Zealanders on the Gulf Livestock 1, along with 41 other crew and thousands of cows.
A second typhoon was due to hit the area over the weekend.
Despite that, his mother Karen Adrian says the family has not given up hope of finding him alive.
"I know the chances are slim but there's still a chance They could be in the other lifeboat," she told RNZ's Hamish Cardwell.
She says the clock is ticking and she wants the Government to help with the search and rescue efforts.
RNZ was put in touch with Adrian by the National Party's Simon Bridges.
