Overview
- The 99-ton vessel overturned at 8:53 a.m. Monday about 150 kilometers southwest of Eocheong Island, with two of 11 crew rescued by a passing cargo ship and nine still unaccounted for.
- Overnight operations by the Gunsan Coast Guard, working with Chinese maritime authorities, found no trace of the missing as of 6 a.m. Tuesday.
- Officials cited relatively low waves of about 1.5 meters but said the vast search area has hampered progress, prompting a planned adjustment of the search zone.
- A separate 98-ton Chinese fishing boat capsized Sunday roughly 80–85 kilometers northwest of Gageo Island, leaving three crew missing.
- Six from the Gageo-area boat were rescued by a nearby Chinese vessel, and two recovered by the South Korean Coast Guard were found in cardiac arrest and transported for emergency care.
