According to the Tongyeong Coast Guard, 15 ships and two aircraft, including Tongyeong Coast Guard’s patrol boats and coastal rescue boats, are conducting search operations.
The Navy also supported three ships and one aircraft.
An official from the Tongyeong Coast Guard said, “Currently, a storm warning is in effect at the site of the accident, and the wave height is 2.0~3.5m. “We are having difficulty searching due to poor weather conditions such as wind speed of 14 to 16㎧,” he said. As of 4 pm on this day, the maximum wave height of the offshore Geoje was 5.5m, which is very high. ‘Golden Time’ depends on the water temperature and other circumstances.
At the time of the’Myeongmin Lake’ accident in Jeju, the coast guard has considered the maximum survival time of 12 hours considering the water temperature of 15-16 degrees.
The water temperature at the time of the ‘127 Oceans’ accident was 14.8 degrees Celsius. Now, after 3 hours, it shows 14.7 degrees, down 0.1 degrees, and the water temperature is expected to gradually decrease.
In other words, the missing people’s golden time is less than at least 12 hours, but the search is difficult, such as dark weather.
A total of 10 people, including 9 Koreans and 1 foreigner of Indonesian nationality, boarded the ‘127 Seas Lake’ where the accident occurred.
The Tongyeong Coast Guard rescued seven domestic and foreigners, and is searching for the remaining three. All seven rescued sailors are believed to have no major health problems.
An official from the Tongyeong Coast Guard said, “We are looking at both the inside and outside of the 127 Ocean Lake.” “It was not in operation, and it is estimated that an accident occurred during the flight.”
On the other hand, the ‘127 Oceans’ (339 tons), a large-scale envoy for Busan, has now sunk.
