An New Zealand Defence Force P-3 Orion has joined the search for the missing ferry
A ferry carrying an estimated 50 people is missing in Kiribati, prompting an global search involving New Zealand and Fiji authorities.
The 17-metre wooden catamaran, named Butiraoi, was supposed to have arrived at the township of Betio from Nonouti Island almost a week ago after leaving Kiribati on 18 January. It was headed for Betio Tarawa, the largest township in the capital - a 260km journey expected to take two days.
The Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion aircraft is helping in the search.
RCCNZ said it is determining the search area for the aerial activity, and is arranging for a local vessel to check along the ferry's planned route.
The Orion carried out a radar search of 145,000sq km on Saturday before standing down, the Rescue Coordination Centre of New Zealand (RCCNZ) says. Contact is also being made with all islands along the route for sightings.

The 17.5-metre wooden catamaran was reported missing last night, more than a week after it began a 260-kilometre voyage.
RCCNZ senior search and rescue officer John Ashby said the centre, along with Kiribati Tarawa Radio, was broadcasting for sightings on maritime radio.
He says the vessel underwent repairs to its propeller shaft just before leaving, which may have contributed to navigation problems.
In October, after rescuing a group of three fishermen in Kiribati, Commodore Darryn Webb of the New Zealand air force urged that boats be fitted with proper communications and emergency equipment.
