14 Seafarers Rescued After Chinese Bulk Carrier Sinks In Yellow Sea
All 14 crew members of a Chinese-flagged bulk carrier were rescued after the vessel sank on November 9, 2026.
The incident took place in the southern Yellow Sea. The ship was sailing from Shanghai to Qingdao during the incident. The 6,000 DWT bulk carrier was carrying steel when the incident took place. Two cargo holds on the starboard side took on water, creating a risk of capsizing and flooding.
The 14 seafarers aboard were rescued after the Yancheng Maritime Search and Rescue Centre received the distress call. An emergency response plan was instantly put into action by the East China Sea Rescue Bureau.
Weather conditions at sea made rescue operations difficult, with winds reaching Force 8 and waves rising to 4 metres, according to Xinde Marine News. The rescue team used the rescue ship Donghai Jiu 116 and helicopters to carry out the procedure. Eight crew members fell overboard as the vessel sank, but all 14 crew were rescued and handed over to local authorities.
The vessel was identified as the 6,000 DWT bulk carrier Jia Cheng 799, built in 2004.
The vessel’s exact position, the cause of the flooding, and the crew’s condition after rescue remain unknown. The Ministry of Transport or maritime safety authorities may provide more information about the incident in later updates.
