The search for 11 missing fishermen has been called off.

Sea Harvest, the company that owns the fishing trawler which sank 34 nautical miles (nearly 63km) off the coast of Hout Bay, confirmed that the search had been called off, due to the time that had lapsed since the boat sank.

The fishermen went missing after their vessel, MFV Lepanto, sank on Friday at about 15:34.
