Two bodies of crew members of barge which capsized off Tanjung Punggai last Wednesday were discovered Sunday.
The bodies were found by divers, near the door of the sunken vessel at about 8am.
The bodies are still trapped inside the vessel at the moment.
So far, four bodies have been found by the Search and Rescue team.
The first body was found floating some 10 nautical miles north from where the vessel capsized.
The second body was found by fishermen some 9.3 nautical miles northeast of Tanjung Penawar from where the vessel, Ocean Line 208, had sunk.
Fourteen crewmen, comprising 13 Chinese nationals and a Malaysian, were reported missing in the incident.
The Bolivian-registered vessel, carrying sand from Teluk Ramunia, off Pengerang, capsized some 8.6 nautical miles east off Tanjung Punggai around 4.20am last Wednesday.
