The 13.5 meter long  fishing vessel KCee sank off Secretary Island, New Zealand.   The vessel last reported it was bound for Blanket Bay with two men on board.   No additional communication came from the vessel until the emergency beacon was activated.   Authorities dispatched multiple helicopters while local fishing vessels assisted in searching for the two men.  During the search, the part of the bow of the KCee was discovered.  Later, the hull was found partially submerged near the island.   The hull was heavily damaged and shows sign that it had struck an object or grounded.   No further details reported.
