<p>Three people were rescued and flown to hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, Jeju coast guard officers said.<br />
Dozens of ships searched the area for survivors.</p>
<p>The Dolphin, lost communication with another boat yesterday evening and was found this morning north of the resort island of Jeju.</p>
<p>A survivor told Yonhap news agency that the boat quickly capsized because of high waves.</p>
<p>The survivor, identified only by the surname Park, awoke to find the captain telling the passengers to get out as the boat filled with water.</p>
<p>Park said survivors clung to the boat for more than 10 hours, but some disappeared in the strong waves before rescuers arrived.</p>
<p>It was not clear how many were on board, but most were passengers on a fishing trip, not professional fishermen, one of the coast guard officials said.</p>
<p>A document listed 22 expected passengers, but officials have found that at least four of them did not actually board the ship.</p>
<p>Also, one of the three survivors was not among those listed in the document, Jeju’s coast guard chief Lee Pyung-hyun said.<br />
More than 40 coast guard, navy and civilian ships searched the nearby waters.</p>
<p>The boat had left Chuja Island, north-west of Jeju Island, to return to a south-western town on the mainland, before losing communication, Mr Lee said.</p>
<p>South Korea is still dealing with grief and anger over a maritime disaster last year that killed more than 300 people, mostly school children, when a ferry sank off the southern coast.</p>
<p>Critics blamed lax government oversight and the country’s poor safety culture in part for the sinking.</p>
<p>President Park Geun-hye, heavily criticised for alleged incompetence over the ferry sinking, ordered her government to “do everything possible for the search and rescue of the missing” and to keep the public informed.</p>
