Bangladesh water transportation Chief, Shamsuddoha Kalu Dacian, said that divers would leave the premises of the Meghna river where the ferry Miraz-4 on Thursday in a storm sank.
About how many passengers on board were there was confusion and authorities was not an exhaustive list of the available place.
"The search request off we got the ferry for the Bank was drawn and we found no more bodies," he said. "Our Savior found overall represent 40."
Ferries in Bangladesh generally does not maintain lists of passengers, and no one was in the recent disaster, said local administrator Saiful Hasan.
"I'm not my brother, where is he?" asked Mohammad Moniruzzaman. "Why keep authorities looking for?"
Before Saturday, 11 bodies were recovered, police had estimated that at least 100 were still missing.
Rescue Diver Masudul Haque, said on Friday night he had recovered nine of the body, but many were caught in cabin room.
"We have recovered the body, especially from the lower deck and other open spaces, but could not open the doors of the cabin room where many passengers, took refuge after the storm have made," said Haque.
"I tried these doors open but could not, as many of the doors buried large amounts of sand," he said.
Relatives of the missing and dead close to the banks of the river Meghna, assembled, where the boat capsized. Several bodies with cloth covered were laid on the ground.
"I'm here yesterday for my brother but I have still no traces," said Lokman Hossain, a sobbing relatives. "No one can assure me about anything."
Sabuj, a passenger who jumped overboard when the ship began to sink, said he was swimming about 25 survivors ashore.
He said the captain of the ferry passengers ignored biplane claims to stay near the coast, as the storm began brewing.
"But he continued to steer the ship" out there in the water, said Sabuj, who uses a name.
The ferry was apparently overcrowded and loaded its deck were, said Mohammad Ali, Director of the Bangladesh inland water transport authority. Officials investigated whether the ship was overcrowded or had design flaws.
Ferries are a common means of transport in the Delta's most populous country, and the Meghna river has been the scene of recent accidents.
