77 Rescued After LNG Carrier Collides With Cargo Ship Off South Korea
An LNG carrier, SM JEJU LNG1, reportedly collided with a cargo vessel close to Yeoseo Island in South Korea. The accident occurred six kilometres southwest of Yeoseo Island, in Wando County of South Korea.
The Wando Coast Guard was quick in the rescue mission, and 77 individuals on the two vessels had been rescued in about four hours. The Wando Coast Guard mentioned that the accident occurred around 4:20 am, and they promptly dispatched a helicopter and a patrol vessel to expedite the rescue.
The Coast Guard has also confirmed that though the vessels were impaired significantly, neither of them has a possibility of sinking. The LNG carrier, SM JEJU LNG1, was empty during the collision.
In contrast, the 5900-ton freighter had been loaded with containers and vehicles when the accident took place, and the Coast Guard has also confirmed that the freighter was having excess guests at its limit. A more thorough investigation is in progress to determine the crash’s cause.
