Within the hour, Vietnamese search and rescue vessels are due to reach a suspicious floating object spotted 100km south-southwest of Vietnam’s Tho Chu island.

The object is yellow, according to Wall Street Journal reporter Vu Trong Khanh, and was first spotted by Singapore’s search and rescue force.

More than 40 ships and 22 aircraft from a number of countries are scouring the South China Sea for any sign of the vessel.
