At around 10 o'clock this morning, a fishing boat suffered a sudden mechanical failure while sailing in the northeast waters of Taiwan, causing it to lose power, which then caused a fire in the engine room, and the situation was critical. After receiving the report, the Coast Guard Administration immediately dispatched the Wanli ship and speedboat for the rescue and successfully rescued all 8 crew members on board. Two of them were sent to the hospital for treatment due to burns and smoke inhalation.
According to preliminary investigations, the fishing boat was conducting ocean-going operations at the time. The captain reported that the engine suddenly vibrated abnormally and then stalled. Subsequently, a large amount of thick smoke came out of the engine room, and the fire spread rapidly in a short period. The crew tried to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher but failed. The fire could not be controlled. Some people jumped into the sea to escape, while some called for help through the emergency radio.
After receiving the notification at 10:20, the Coast Guard Administration immediately activated the emergency response mechanism, dispatched the Wanli ship and the Northeast Sea Area patrol boat to the incident area, and contacted the Air Force Command for backup. When the coast guard arrived at the scene at 11:10, smoke was still coming out of the fishing boat's engine room. Rescuers immediately used water cannons to help cool down the body while launching a search and rescue operation. After about 40 minutes of emergency operations, the three people who fell into the sea and were floating on the sea were successfully rescued. Another five trapped crew members were found on the boat, and all of them were rescued.
After a preliminary examination, two crew members had obvious burns and continued coughing, suspected of inhaling excessive smoke. They were immediately sent to Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital by helicopter for emergency treatment. The remaining six people were not seriously injured and have been arranged by the Coast Guard to return to shore to rest.
The Coast Guard Administration stated that the detailed cause of the accident still needs to be further clarified. The hull has been secured to prevent further drifting, and special personnel have been arranged to monitor possible subsequent pollution risks. The agency stressed that it will continue to strengthen its emergency response capabilities at sea to ensure maritime safety and efficiency in rescuing lives.
