Today (October 14) at around 8 am. After a 36-hour voyage, the Zhejiang Lingyu 29979 ship slowly docked in the Wenling Shitang Diaogang port area. The day before yesterday evening (October 12), the fishing boat was on its way to sea and received a distress signal from another sinking fishing boat. The captain decisively gave up his work and actively rescued all the five crew members in distress, and took them back safely.

Around 1:00 a.m. on October 12, Zhejiang Lingyu 29979 was fishing in the 1663 sea area 193 nautical miles away from Shanghai. A cargo ship drove past the ship. When the crew was about to turn around, they found that a distress signal flare was sent from the cargo ship.
People's lives are at stake. The crew on the fishing boat didn't have time to think too much, and while cutting off the fishing net, he drove quickly towards the cargo ship. The storm was very strong at that time. Relying on his skillful skills, Captain Sun Zhongfu successfully brought the fishing boat close to the freighter and took all five freighter crew members to the fishing boat. In less than an hour, the cargo ship with severe water inflow disappeared on the radar.
The five crew members rescued
It is understood that the freighter sank due to water entering the cabin on the ocean while driving from Shanghai to Taiwan.
The crew members who were rescued were still in shock. They recalled that the ocean was stormy at that time. After finding that the cabin was in water, it was too late to drain the water. The cargo ship had already tilted very heavily and was about to sink. The life raft on the ship could not be untied and used because it was tied up and could not be used. Everyone was panicked. After sending a distress signal, I didn't expect the fishing boat next to me to come to rescue me so quickly.

rescued freighter Taiwanese captain Chen Wenhua: "The water is getting more and more, and it is not too late to pull it out, and then the ship is getting more and more oblique. We quickly found the life jacket and lifebuoy for survival, put on life jackets, and fired a signal flare."
Zhejiang Lingyu 29979 Captain Sun Zhongfu: " I said his boat must have something to do. We waited and called him on the walkie-talkie. But we couldn't answer. We saw that he had another signal flare and shot six. I said we had put it on the net and leaned over and took a look. "
Sun Zhongfu was driving a shrimp tow fishing boat. At that time, 10 people in the boat just dropped the net gear for operation. After confirming that the situation was urgent, although abandoning the net would cause great losses to their fishing boat, Sun Zhongfu immediately made a decision for the safety of the people who fell into the water.

Sun Zhongfu crew members were pulling the net at the time, but because it took an hour to pull the net, the net had already been put down at that time. Considering that saving people is important, they quickly threw the net, rescued the person and then took the net.
The wind and waves were very strong at that time. Relying on skillful skills, Sun Zhongfu successfully brought the fishing boat close to the freighter and took all five freighter crew members to the fishing boat. In less than an hour, the cargo ship with severe water inlet disappeared on the radar on the fishing boat.
When talking about the rescue at that time, Chen Weng was sobbing that he couldn't speak. He told reporters that he was very nervous at the time. Later, he found that a fishing boat came to save them. It was the fishing boat of compatriots in mainland China, and he was very grateful.
5 people on the cargo ship were rescued
2 people were confirmed to be Taiwanese
After rescued people, the fishing boat reported the rescue situation to Wenling City Marine Fisheries Bureau. After 36 hours of sailing, at around 8 o'clock this morning, the 29979 boat of Zhejiang Ling Fishing successfully returned to the Diaobang Port Area of Shitang, Wenling City. The Taiwan Affairs Office of Wenling City, marine fisheries, border defense and other departments and the relevant person in charge of Shitang Town boarded the ship to express condolences to the rescued crew and gave the 25,000 yuan rescue reward to the Captain Zhejiang Ling Fishing 29979.
After law enforcement officers confirmed that among the five rescued people, two are Taiwanese, two are Liaoning, and one is Guangxi. The five have been resettled and the relevant follow-up work is in an orderly manner.
Law enforcement officers told reporters that this Wenling fishing boat has more than 200 nautical miles from the operation point to the Diaobin Fishing Port. One round and one round plus the investigation will delay the operation time of the fishing boat for 4 to 5 days, causing great economic losses.
