Work barge suspected to have damaged a subsea telecommunications cable during wreck removal
The "Min Lian Yu 63896" suffered a water ingress and was abandoned by its crew. The vessel drifted ashore near Dongyin, part of the Taiwan-governed Matsu Islands, on March 21, 2026. The crew was rescued and returned to China. Its owner subsequently commissioned the work barge 'Hai Hong Gong 66' (MMSI: 413491530) to carry out wreck removal operations, which were started on March 30. During the work, the 'Hai Hong Gong 66' allegedly damaged a subsea telecommunications cable off Dongyin, late on March 30. It caused partial damage to core wires in the Taiwan-Matsu Subsea Cable No. 3. The CGA's Kinmen-Matsu-Penghu Branch received a report on March 31 from the Chunghwa Telecom, which was indicating a malfunction in the Dongyin-Beigan section of the cable, suspected to have been caused by the vessel's operations. A patrol boat was immediately dispatched to collect evidence and board the vessel. The authorities detained the 11 crew members, who were involved in the operation, and took the captain ashore to provide a statement. The case has been referred to the Lienchiang District Prosecutors' Office for further investigation.
