22/Aug/2020

Fuzhou Maritime Bureau notified a dangerous situation at sea on the 23rd. On the morning of the 21st, the Zhejiang Ningbo-registered dry cargo ship "Rongning 191" stranded in the waters of Zhutou Jiao on the west side of Dongluo Island in Changle on the way from Fuqing, Fuzhou to Taizhou, Zhejiang. The Fuzhou Maritime Department quickly launched an emergency response and successfully rescued the 6 crew members on board.

When the Fuzhou Maritime Department carried out the rescue, it was discovered that the strand of the ship "Rongning 191"  on the reef is larger and there are many fishing grids around it. The tugboat cannot get close to assist in the shallowing. The Fuzhou Maritime Bureau immediately adjusted the rescue plan, informing all the crew of the "Rongning 191" ship to wear life jackets, close the fast-closing fuel valve on the ship, release the life raft, organize all the crew to abandon the ship, and wait for the next high tide to carry out the ship's shallow disposal . At the same time, the Fuzhou Maritime Bureau organized the installation of oil booms on site to prevent possible ship pollution accidents.
 
At 12:50 on the 21st, the 6 crew members of the "Rongning 191" ship were safely evacuated to the "Hai Xun 08203" law enforcement boat of the Fuzhou Maritime Bureau. At around 23:00 on the 22nd, the "Rongning 191" ship was supervised by the sea cruiser and the rescue tug, and the ship was in good condition and no oil spill pollution accident occurred. At present, the Fuzhou Maritime Bureau has organized the investigation of the accident.
