Hong Kong media: Treasure Seafood Boat Tugboat lingers unusually near the Xisha Islands
Hong Kong Treasure Seafood Boat set sail last Tuesday (14th), and then sank in the waters near the Xisha Islands last Sunday (19th). The Hong Kong Maritime Affairs Office stated that before the relevant group announced the news of the sinking of the Zhenbao Seafood Boat, Prescription did not receive a notice from the shipowner. After learning about the relevant reports, it immediately asked the shipowner to submit a written report and would follow up on the investigation.
However, as of now, the relevant investigation results have not been announced to the public.
Hong Kong media "Hong Kong 01" published an exclusive investigation today (22nd), saying that the original destination of the Zhenbao Seafood Boat was Cambodia . On the day of the accident, it suddenly wandered unusually near the Xisha Islands and sailed in a jagged shape.
"Hong Kong 01" checked the records of ship departures from the Maritime Office and found that for three consecutive days (from the 14th to the 16th), only one Korean registered tugboat "Jaewon 9" left the port. The report said that it was believed that it was the ship that towed away from the Zhenbaofang. On the evening of the 18th, the navigation records showed that the Zhenbao Boat had arrived in the waters near the Xisha Islands, but on the 19th, the ship suddenly turned around and continued to hover, with irregular sailing, and the waterway records were zigzag. The navigation records of this Korean tugboat match the time and location of the shipwreck announced by the ship owner.
1 Treasure Seafood Boat was opened in Aberdeen Typhoon in 1975. It is modeled on the Chinese palace design and the construction cost is HK$32 million. It costs HK$6 million for traditional Chinese handicraft ornaments and murals alone, and can accommodate 2,300 diners. It was once known as the "world's largest sea food palace". It has attracted celebrities from all walks of life, including Queen Elizabeth II, Hollywood movie stars John Wayne, Tom Cruise, Hong Kong actor Zhou Runfa , etc. In addition, movies including " Dragon Fighting Tiger Fighting ", " God of Cooking ", " Infernal Affairs II" have been taken here.
However, Zhenbao Seafood Boat has suffered serious losses since 2013, and has accumulated a total loss of HK$100 million until the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020.Under the dual impact of losses and the epidemic, Zhenbao Seafood Boat was suspended in March 2020. Aberdeen Food Group, which is responsible for managing Zhenbao Kingdom , donated seafood boats to Ocean Park in November of the same year, but at the end of 2021, no third-party agency was found to operate in Ocean Park, and the donation plan was ruined. The seafood boat announced that it will be moved from Hong Kong this month due to maritime license expiration and lack of funds.
