Speaking from the crisis centre set up in the area, he told reporters: “We have still not been able to reach 23 people. Search and rescue teams are working very intensively to find them.
"If there are people still inside the vessel, reaching them does not appear easy at the moment. Efforts are being made using other technologies to reach them as well.”
Mr Erhurman said there was a “great sense of shock” about the incident, noting that the weather was considered suitable for travel.
“This is not something we have experienced before... we are extremely saddened. Everyone is doing everything they can and making every effort,” he said.
