Japan's coastguard has rescued one person in the search for a livestock ship with 43 crew and nearly 6,000 cattle on board.

Two New Zealanders were on the vessel that's gone missing in the East China Sea, as a typhoon lashed the region.

The ship left Napier nearly three weeks ago, and was bound for China. Andrew McRae reports.
