The Jin Hongyi fishing boat went fishing in the open sea late last night, and was returning to Fugang Fishing Port to unload early this morning. It was pushed and ran aground on the beach by a big wave while passing by Fengli Beach. Coast Guard and Taito District Fishermen’s Association personnel rushed to the scene to rescue. Lu Zhengxiu, director of the Taito District Fisheries Association, said that he received a call from fishermen for help at 4:00 a.m. and immediately contacted the coast guard unit and nearby operating ships to provide support; the friendly ship Yufa No. 116, which was operating nearby, received his call; The tugboat was rescued, but the wind and waves were strong, and the equipment was insufficient, so we had to give up. At present, we have contacted the strange hands to carry out rescue, hoping to be towed back to the sea smoothly.

There were 2 Taiwanese and 3 Indonesian fishermen on board, and one of them collided with the equipment when the boat washed ashore, injured his waist, and was sent to hospital for treatment, but his life was not in danger.

The fishing boat ran aground on the beach and swayed violently due to the wind and waves. First, two fishermen tried to fix the boat with cables. Suddenly, a big wave slapped the boat and tilted it, and the two fishermen jumped off the boat to escape. After the wind and waves subsided, three fishermen boarded the boat again. As a result, a big wave capsized the boat, and the three fishermen jumped out of the boat to escape. One of them nearly drowned, and the guards on the side were also frightened.

The captain watched the dumped ship being shaken by the waves on the beach, and said sadly that after working in the sea off Taimali, he was going back north to Fugang Fishing Port. , When it was found that the ship deviated at 4 o’clock in the morning, it had already run aground.
