First, let’s look at a picture taken by the coast guard in the area of ​​the accident.

A ship is upside down in the middle of the dark sea.

It is presumed to be the hull of the’Geo-ryong-ho’ that received a report of flooding off the coast of Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk.

The Coast Guard is currently conducting search operations around fishing boats to rescue survivors.

However, a storm warning has been issued on the seas before the East Sea.

There is a high wave height of 2.5~3.5m, making it difficult to search.

Yesterday’s report of flooding was 6:50 pm.

The exact report point is 42km east of Gampo-eup, Gyeongju-si.

The Georyong Lake is a 9.77 ton class of red crab fishing boats shipped in Pohang Janggi.

There were 6 people on board, including 2 Korean sailors, 3 Vietnamese, and 1 Chinese Korean.

It is reported that one of them reported flooding to a friend.

Ten ships and seven aircraft were employed in the search, and two commercial ships were also supported.

When the news of the flooding of fishing boats spread, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Moon Sung-hyuk urgently instructed us to do our best to search and rescue people by mobilizing all available resources.

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has put in rescue equipment and manpower, such as fishing guidance ships, at the accident site, and requested search support for nearby private ships and fishing boats.
