Officers brought on shore another three members of the crew and launched a search for three other members.
The 10-crewmember trawler went out of contact on Monday evening two nautical miles off Phuket’s Promthep Cape. Initial search operations were called off at 1.30am Tuesday due to poor visibility and strong winds and waves.
