On Dec 9, the Coast Guard Administration's Keelung branch was informed that the Keelung-registered Chin Jui Yi 88 fishing boat capsized 5 nautical miles off the Fuguei Cape. Currently, only one Chinese fishermen was rescued. The other 7 crew members, including Taiwanese captain , are still missing. On Dec 9, Chin Jui Yi 88, a Keelung-registered fishing boat, capsized 5 nautical miles north northwest off the Fuguei Cape. The Coast Guard Administration dispatched four patrol vessels to rescue the crew members after receiving the news at 9:27 p.m. Two other fishing vessels also rushed to join the rescue operation. ==MEMBER Keelung coast guard== There were two fishing vessels nearby the capsized boat. They are warding off other boats and helping to search for the missing crew members. The weather at sea is really bad now. The eight crew members include Taiwanese captain Wu Tseng-te, five Chinese fishermen, and two Vietnamese fishermen. Large waves capsized the boat. After being washed overboard by the second wave, Chinese fishermen Lin Mou-te was saved by a nearby fishing vessel. Meanwhile, the other seven are still missing. ==CHEN SHAN PEN, Dep. Div. Head Marine Patrol Directorate General== Since the weather was bad, we could not perform underwater rescue operations. We could not tow the boat away either. Now one frigate and four patrol vessels, along with helicopters, are undertaking the rescue operation. ==CHEN CHUAN WEN, ship owner== (What was the situation like back then?) I do not know. I am not sure about what happened, except that the waves were large. The fishing boat left Keelung Harbor on Dec. 7 to fish for spear shrimp. After the accident happened, seven navy personnel from the Underwater Operation Unit were sent to search for the crew members. However, due to the bad weather, they have not been able to undertake underwater rescue. The navy is now continuing to search for the missing members at the sea surface as time runs out.
