The coast guard stated it acquired a misery sign from the Hong Kong-flagged vessel Jin Tian late on Tuesday evening because it cruised 110 kilometers (68 miles) west of the Danjo Islands within the East China Sea with a crew of twenty-two folks aboard.
The crew – 14 Chinese language and eight Myanmar nationals – are believed to have been transferred to lifeboats earlier than tough seas impacted their rescue, the Japan Coast Guard stated.
13 crew members have been rescued up to now – 5 by business vessels cruising close by, two by Japan Air Self-Protection Power helicopters and 6 by the South Korean maritime police, the Japan Coast Guard stated.
The coast guard stated the Jin Tian had been anticipated to achieve the port of Incheon, South Korea, on Wednesday. It left Malaysia’s Port Klang in early December, in response to monitoring website MarineTraffic.
