The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) of the Marine Department is coordinating a search and rescue operation for three fishermen east of Waglan Island after their fishing vessel sank this (Saturday) morning.
A HK-licensed 23-metre-long fishing vessel with five people on board including a HK person and four Chinese collided with an unknown vessel while the fishing vessel was fishing 11 nautical miles east of Waglan around 3.30 am today.
The HK person and a Chinese were rescued by a nearby vessel. Three other people on board are missing.
The case was reported to Marine Police around 5 am and MRCC subsequently started a search and rescue operation for the missing persons.
The MRCC has tasked the Police launch to search the area.
