14 crew members of sinking cargo ship rescued in last moment
A coordinated air and sea response rescued all 14 crew members on Nov 9, 2026, after a cargo ship 'Jia Cheng 799' (MMSI: 413325220), loaded with steel, sank in the southern Yellow Sea. The ship, located about 20 nautical miles northeast of Binhai Port in Yangchen City in the Jiangsu Province, was battered by gale-force winds and four-meter waves. It issued a distress signal on the morning, after heavy waves flooded two of its starboard compartments, leaving it listing severely and in imminent danger of capsizing. The Donghai Rescue Bureau dispatched two rescue helicopters B-72DT from Lianyungang and B-7359 from Yancheng and the 'Donghaijiu 116'. Rescuers faced harsh conditions, with gale-force winds. As the SAR-operation unfolded, the ship continued to tilt before ultimately sinking, plunging eight of the crew members into the water. Coordinating closely, the helicopters and the rescue vessel raced against time to search the area, eventually bringing all 14 crew members to safety. The bulk carrier went down bow first, and after confirming the ship's sinking, the Lianyungang Maritime Safety Administration promptly issued a navigation warning at 3:57 p.m. Reports with photo and videos: https://www.bastillepost.com/global/article/6345138-14-rescued-after-cargo-ship-sinks-off-east-china-coast https://www.kankanews.com/detail/boy4A3o08Q1 https://www.163.com/dy/article/LBDHGTPI0534EYKX.html https://timeline.sohu.com/news/KGvHYI5oCb?from=news
