The fishing vessel that caught fire and sank was conveying 500 passengers mostly from Eritrea and Somalia. 111 bodies have been recovered and 200 on board are still unaccounted for, dozens remain sunken in the vessel.
Some 100 could remain in the wreck which is 40m below the surface, some officials quote.
