DALIAN, China (CNN) -- Rescue workers early Wednesday were recovering bodies from a China Northern Airlines plane that crashed into the sea Tuesday off the Chinese city of Dalian in Liaoning Province. The Xinhua News Agency reported 60 bodies had been found and officials said prospects were dim for any of the 112 people aboard the plane. The agency said China Northern Flight 6136 crashed after the captain reported a fire in the cabin. Officials said more than 30 boats have been dispatched to the Dalian Bay in search of survivors. Xinhua quoted airline officials as saying there were 103 passengers plus a crew of nine on board. The agency said eight non-Chinese were among the passengers -- from Japan, South Korea and other countries yet to be identified. Rescue teams have recovered parts of the plane wreckage, the agency said. Crews found a pushcart used for serving food that had been burned black and split in two. The plane was on a flight from Beijing when it went down about 20 kilometers east of Dalian, in northeast China. Dalian is a coastal resort city. The plane was an MD-82, one of several MD-80 models. According to Boeing spokesman Tom Ryan, the plane was delivered by McDonald-Douglas in July 1991. It had 26,000 hours and was operated for China Northern Airlines by Swan Air. The Boeing MD-80 model, a quiet, fuel-efficient twinjet, was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration in August 1980 and entered airline service in October the same year. Swissair and Austrian Airlines began the first service, and American Airlines operates the largest number of MD-80s, a fleet of 275. Thirty-five MD-80 airplanes were assembled and are operating in China. ----
