The search for two New Zealand men who were onboard a cattle ship in the East China Sea remains suspended, as a second typhoon hits the region.

On Wednesday morning, the ship carrying 43 crew members and thousands of cows issued a distress signal during the middle of a typhoon.

Three people have been found in the search – two are alive.
