Crew saved in dramtic rescue
By Gorden Lee
Air-sea rescue units from Shunde, Guangdong Province, and Hong Kong saved the lives of 23
seamen in the South China Sea yesterday.
The container ship, the "Krameria", registered in Panama, was on its way to Hong Kong from
Singapore when it sent out a distress(求救)call at 1: 30 p.m. The ship reported that it was sinking
after it had a serious damage when hit by Typhon Jasmine earlier in the morning.
Working together, two helicopters from Shunde and an aeroplane from Hong Kong were sent to
the ship, located about four hundred and fifty kilometres south-west of Hong Kong. The helicopters
winched(用绞盘拉)the crew to safety, while the aeroplane provided air refueling support.
The rescue of the crew took over one hour, as the hard work was interrupted by strong winds
and high seas. Five crew members were injured. All crew members were taken to hospital in Shunde
for treatment, but only one stayed overnight.
Yesterday"s rescue was the second joint mission involving air-sea rescue units from Shunde and
Hong Kong this year. Last May, the units successfully found a missing fishing boat.
The "Krameria" reported that a water pipe had burst in the engine room. Early reports around
noon suggested that the crew had the flooding under control, but later the captain radioed that the ship
was filling with water. The rough seas made it impossible for lifeboats to be used.
The Director of Joinst Missions, Ma Jinshan, was delighted with the success of the rescue. "It was
a major rescue in very dangerous conditions. We are pleased that it went so well."
The "Krameria" is believed to have sunk shortly after the rescue. Yesterday evening, ships in the
area reported seeing containers floating on the water.
