On June 10, in order to improve the comprehensive emergency response capabilities

Bureau organized passenger transport companies under the jurisdiction, private
voluntary marine rescue organizations, and marine emergency decontamination units
to carry out maritime search and rescue and oil spill emergency drill.

Zhangzhou to the waters near No. 701, the main engine suddenly broke down
and the ship was out of control. During the disposal process, the ship touched
the bird droppings reef under the influence of the wind current, and the hull
was damaged into the water and tilted. Afterwards, it was found that the
dirty oil tank was damaged and the oil pollution was leaked. The passengers
on board were out of control and the scene was chaotic. Two passengers
fell into the water. The captain immediately called for rescue, and at the
same time they carried out emergency handling of the ship's oil leakage.

Lujiang Maritime Department to carry out emergency disposal work,
coordinate the transfer of passengers from nearby sailing ships, and
