China News Service, Guangzhou, May 21 (Guo Junkangle Wang Xin) According to a report by the South China Sea Relief Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China on May 21, a fishing boat was stranded in Xisha waters of Sansha City, Hainan Province. On the 21st, all the people in distress were rescued on the morning of the 21st by the South China Sea Rescue Bureau's high-power marine rescue ship "South China Sea 116".
On the evening of the 20th, the rescue command office of the Nanhai Rescue Bureau received information from the Xisha resident unit in Sansha City that a Qiongji fishing boat was in danger of stranding the bow of the Xisha sea, and 20 people on board were trapped for rescue.
After receiving the danger report, the Nanhai Rescue Bureau immediately launched an emergency plan and assigned the “Nanhai Rescue 116” who was on standby in the nearby waters to rescue. The "Nanhai rescue 116" ship immediately anchored to the scene. The incident occurred in the sea area when the southwest wind was 6-7, and the wave height was 3-4 meters. During the rescue, the rescue personnel learned that the lights on the fishing boat were on and off, the waves on the deck, and the cabin entered the water. The hull was slightly inclined with the wind and waves and collided with the reef. In order to ensure the safety of the personnel, the rescue commander immediately responded, notified the Nanhai First Rescue Flying Team to prepare the rescue helicopter for rescue, and requested the "Nanhai Rescue 116" to accelerate.
