A fishing boat with four passengers did not return and the sea was rough due to the effect of a typhoon. Is it a disaster?
On Ishigaki Island in Okinawa, where a typhoon had been affected, a fishing boat with four people did not enter the port even after the schedule, and the Coast Guard might have been in distress due to a barge and searched for it. I am.
According to the Ishigaki Coast Guard, this fishing boat is the Haenawa fishing boat “Hakumaru” (7.3 tons), which belongs to the Yaeyama Fisheries Cooperative in Ishigaki City, and has four crew members including the captain.
At around 4:30 pm on the 22nd, the Fisheries Cooperative was informed that "I will enter the Ishigaki Fishing Port an hour later," but since the port did not enter at night and there was no communication, the Fisheries Cooperative sent to the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters. I was contacted.
The fishing boat was scheduled to leave the Tomari fishing port in Naha city on the main island of Okinawa on the 18th of this month and enter the Ishigaki fishing port on the 22nd.
The sea was rough around Ishigaki Island due to the typhoon, and a wave warning was issued before 5 pm. The Coast Guard is looking for a fishing boat by sending out a patrol boat as it may have been in distress.
