The Donghai Rescue Bureau's air and sea forces rescued 14 distressed crew members at sea.
Due to the impact of the first cold wave in the second half of the year, on the morning of November 9, a bulk carrier loaded with steel encountered distress in the southern waters of the Yellow Sea. At the time of the incident, two cabins on the starboard side of the ship began taking on water, the ship's hull was severely tilted, and there was a risk of sinking at any moment. Fourteen people on board requested rescue. After receiving distress information from the Yancheng Maritime Search and Rescue Center, the East China Sea Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Transport immediately activated an emergency plan, dispatching the rescue vessel "Donghai Jiu 116," the East China Sea First Rescue Flying Team’s standby helicopter "B-72DT" from Lianyungang, and the standby helicopter "B-7359" from Yancheng for rescue operations.
With wind force reaching level 8 and waves reaching 4 meters in height, the rescue faced increased difficulty. Once the rescue forces arrived, they quickly launched actions, and through the coordinated efforts of rescue helicopters and ships, successfully rescued all 14 crew members in distress despite an emergency situation where the ship sank and 8 people fell into the water. All rescued personnel have been handed over to the maritime authorities.
