The "Jumbo Seafood Boat", which has stood in the Aberdeen typhoon shelter for more than 40 years, left Hong Kong earlier for repairs in Southeast Asia. However, it sank in the waters near the Paracel Islands last Saturday (18th).
The local tugboat company, Profit Marine, dispatched two tugboats that day to assist in towing the "Jumbo Seafood Boat" from the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter out of Hong Kong.
Wen Zijie, chairman of Runli Marine, told "Hong Kong 01" that their company's tugboat was only responsible for the towing voyage in Hong Kong waters on that day, and had been handed over to another large ocean-going tugboat company when it reached the open sea.
Yunli said that at the time of handover, he did not notice any abnormality in the seafood boat, and the ship was "completely normal", and regretted the subsequent shipwreck.

Jumbo Seafood Boat bid farewell to Hong Kong last Tuesday (14th). According to the photos on that day, the seafood boat was towed by two tugboats "Runwei" and "Runfu" of Runli Marine on duty.
Wan Zijie, chairman and executive director of Runli Marine Group, pointed out that due to the restriction of the license, his company's two tugboats were only responsible for towing voyages in Hong Kong waters. Take over, arranged by the owner of "Jumbo Seafood Boat".
It's simple, we only send him downstairs, get on the cross car and go to the side, we don't know.

During the handover, I didn't realize that the Jumbo Seafood Restaurant was different.
Wen Zijie recalled that he didn't notice anything unusual about the seafood boat that day. Regardless of its appearance and the condition when it was towed, the seafood boat was completely normal in Hong Kong waters. I'd love to see it... It's a pity, a ship with such historical value... There's no way, Hong Kong will not be able to get it."
Wen also pointed out that because the shipwreck was not at the scene, the cause and circumstances of the accident were unclear.
However, he said that the risks of navigating in open seas are higher than those in Hong Kong waters, and this is not the first time that a shipwreck accident has occurred, and the weather conditions in open seas are more unpredictable. ... 100,000 tons of ships will sink."
