After timely rescue, all seven fishermen in distress on board were rescued.
At 10 o'clock on December 9, the Weihai Maritime Search and Rescue Center received a report from the fishermen of the "Jichangyu 02184" ship that the ship was flooded about 13 nautical miles north of Weihai and the water was uncontrollable. Seven people on board asked for help.
The Weihai Maritime Search and Rescue Center immediately launched an emergency response, and carried out the rescue quickly in accordance with the principle of "nearest and quickest". The Weihai Maritime Safety Administration dispatched three nearby merchant ships including the "Yushun 677" and "Liyun" to suspend their voyage plans. The fishing boats in distress assembled nearby, and coordinated with the Weihai Municipal Ocean and Fishery Department to dispatch two nearby Weihai-registered fishing boats to the scene of the incident.

After the search and rescue force arrived at the scene of the incident, the Weihai Maritime Search and Rescue Center, considering the characteristics of the fishing boat's low side and flexible operation, ordered the "Yushun 677" to monitor the scene and take advantage of the fishing boat's lower freeboard and fast personnel transfer to transfer the fishermen in distress.
After nearly an hour of intensive rescue, the seven fishermen on board "Jichangyu 02184" were finally safely transferred to "Luweiyu 61787".
