Families of the eight South Korean crew who died on the 266,000-dwt VLOC Stellar Daisy (built 1993) are calling for the government to conduct another deep-sea search to recover a second voyage data recorder (VDR).

The Committee of Stellar Daisy Korean Families allege that mishandling of the initial VDR, which was recovered from the sunken wreck after the first survey in February, has corrupted its data.
