Yes, it was 6:50 pm today that a report was received that a fishing boat was being flooded off the coast of Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

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

The fishing boat in the accident is a 9.77 ton class’Goryong Lake’, which is a red crab fishing boat loaded in Janggi in Pohang.

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

It is said that one of them reported to an acquaintance during the flood.

The Pohang Coast Guard urged an emergency to drop flares in the area of ​​the accident and search the site in cooperation with the navy, but it has not yet found a fishing boat.

Ten ships and seven aircraft were deployed, and two commercial merchant ships are also supporting the search.

A storm warning has been issued in the area of ​​the accident, and a wave height of 2.5~3.5m is currently being raised, making it difficult to search.

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.
