The sinking of Zhoushan fishing boat has caused 12 deaths. What caused the fishing boat to sink?

Jiangsu fishing boat "Su Qiyu 03434" sank about 100 nautical mile east of Zhujiajian Island in Zhoushan, killing 20 people. After receiving the report, the local rescue forces quickly organized search and rescue. Of the 20 people in distress, 16 was rescued, 12 had no vital signs, and four people were still missing. I searched online for a long time and finally determined that the cause of the shipwreck was being further verified. So I don't know why it sank.

It is too late to say anything about the accident that has happened. What we need to consider is how to prevent this from happening in the future.

Why did the fishing boat sink?

The fishery in China has developed rapidly, and the number of fishing boats has increased rapidly. With the development of economy, the traffic density of merchant ships along the coast of China is increasing. This has caused a very serious cross and overlap between merchant ships and fishing boats. In recent years, there have been frequent ship collisions along the coast of China, especially between merchant ships and fishing boats.

Material factor

In China, fishing boats are widely distributed and numerous. The echo of fishing boats often covers the whole radar screen, and the lights of fishing boats illuminate the whole sea surface. The centralized operation area of fishing boats extends from several nautical miles to dozens of nautical miles.

In fishing grounds, the density of fishing boats is high, and the fishing gear operations such as single towing, double towing, purse seine, drift net, net catching and line fishing are complicated, which makes it impossible for merchant ships to prevent.

The high concentration, long duration and wide coverage of sea fog in China's coastal areas seriously threaten navigation safety.

The coastal areas of China have been affected by typhoons and monsoons for a long time. Fishing boats, especially wooden fishing boats, are hard to find in heavy rains and waves.

Neglect of management of merchant ships passing through fishing boat operation areas

There is a lack of watchmen and watchmen on the bridge. At present, the company and the ship have sent a pilot to be on duty independently.

No safe speed was taken, and the pilots on duty rarely took speed change measures. Most of them just turn the rudder alone to avoid fishing boats.

Volunteer operators are inexperienced and unfamiliar with the types of fishing boats displayed by lights, especially fishing boats that correctly judge various light signals at night, or judge the distance entirely by the brightness of fishing boat lights, rather than comprehensive and clear light observation.

The personnel on duty rely too much on the International Regulations for Collision Avoidance at Sea, and are not fully aware of collision avoidance risks, collision avoidance actions and yaw regulations.

The personnel on duty did not use the photoacoustic signal correctly and did not give enough warning to the fishing boat;

Drivers on duty have bad driving habits and often use autopilot at close range to avoid collisions;

The pilot has insufficient time on duty, especially at night, and the crew has insufficient time to adapt to night vision;

The driver on duty was not sure about crossing the fishing boat area, but fortunately he did not call the captain in time to deal with it.

Prevention and treatment of fishing boat capsizing accident

The main reasons for the capsizing of fishing boats include:

(1) The influence of wind and waves. The fishing boat was sailing on the rough sea and capsized on the high seas due to operational errors.

(2) Cargo displacement slips. The cargo placed on the deck or in the cargo hold is not fixed or bound, or the fish cargo in the cargo hold has no partition, which causes sliding under the action of external force.

(3) Poor drainage on the deck. The deck drain door was blocked by cargo sundries placed on the deck, so the fishing boat could not drain in time after the surge.

(4) unreasonable loading of goods. Put goods or materials on deck, and add a lot of anchors or nets to offset the center of gravity of the ship.

In preventing overturning accidents, we should pay attention to the following safety measures.

(1) Do a good job in maintaining the communication, navigation, life-saving equipment and other equipment of fishing boats, keep the communication unblocked, report to the public security organ in case of emergency, and try their best to help each other.

(2) Conduct crew safety drills regularly to deal with emergencies.

(3) Listen to the weather forecast on time every day, pay close attention to the weather changes, and arrange production operations according to the weather conditions and the wind resistance level of the ship.

(4) Strict formation and joint formation should ensure that the starting point and return journey are consistent, not exceeding the wind level, and the navigation area is not overloaded.

Correct rescue measures should be taken immediately after the fishing boat capsizes.

(a) the first time to understand the accident, whether there is the possibility of rescue.

(2) When deciding to abandon the ship, all crew members should put on life jackets and put down life rafts.

(three) immediately report the accident to the competent authorities or nearby fishing boats and ask for assistance.
