Search for Fijian man and Australian man with links to Fiji called off

Authorities in Papua New Guinea have called off the search for a Fijian and an Australian man with Fiji links who went missing after their boat capsized near the capital Port Moresby.

PNG's National Maritime Safety Authority confirmed to ABC’s Pacific Beat the search was called off after receiving advice from an Australian expert that the time frame for survival would have expired by last light on Monday.

The three missing men were part of a group of four who were headed towards an island south‑west of Port Moresby on Saturday.

One man was rescued by helicopter on Sunday.

He told authorities their boat had overturned in rough seas.

The men were employees at accounting firm KPMG.
