News reference**: News report of the main station.
In the early morning of February 24, a heart-wrenching scene occurred in the waters of the East China Sea. According to the latest information obtained by the reporter of the main station from a number of authoritative departments, a fishing boat of Shandong nationality sank at about 1 a.m. on the same day in the 7th district of the 193 sea area of the East China Sea at 29 degrees 31 minutes north latitude and 123 degrees 32 minutes east longitude, with 12 crew members on board. The occurrence of this incident has aroused great concern from the society and a rapid response from relevant state departments.
After the incident, the National Maritime Search and Rescue Center immediately activated the emergency plan and coordinated a number of professional search and rescue vessels and maritime patrol forces to rush to the scene to carry out rescue operations. As of press time, the search and rescue team has successfully rescued four crew members in distress, but unfortunately, some crew members are still missing. At present, the search and rescue work is being carried out against time, and all departments are going all out to take all possible measures to find the missing people, and strive to ensure the safety of lives to the greatest extent.
The specific cause of the sinking of the fishing boat is still under investigation, but it is foreseeable that China's marine management department will take this as a lesson to further strengthen the supervision of fishery safety production, increase the safety inspection of fishing vessels in coastal areas, and ensure that the safety of the lives and property of marine workers is fully guaranteed.
Internationally, the frequent occurrence of similar marine accidents has also constantly reminded countries of the importance of maritime traffic safety and emergency response capabilities. As a responsible major country, China has been actively fulfilling its international obligations, strengthening international cooperation, improving maritime search and rescue technology and management, and constantly improving relevant laws and regulations, with a view to promoting the overall improvement of the maritime security environment on a global scale.
As the search and rescue work continues, the whole society hopes that the missing crew members can return safely as soon as possible. The reporter of the main station will continue to track and report the progress of this incident, timely convey the rescue dynamics and follow-up investigation, and call on all sectors of society to care about and support the development of maritime security.
