Longliner abandoned off Tuvalu
The "Jin Xiang 6"caught fire 400 miles west of Tuvalu and was taking on water. The crew iwas abandoning ship on Aug 16, 2019. A New Zealand Defence Force Orion P-3K2 on a fisheries patrol located the vessel and dropped off communications equipment, fresh water and lights. The 14 crew members went into life rafts. The Orion has communicated to the vessel’s sister ship "Jin Xiang 7" for a pick-up. The aircraft then returned to Nauru, having reached its maximum flying endurance. An RNZAF Hercules C-130 aircraft was placed on standby to support. The Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand was notified about the fire and was gathering information to see what assistance can be provided to Fiji, where the response will be coordinated. On Aug 17 all crew members of the "Jin Xiang 6" were accounted for, after the New Zealand Defence Force found the last missing crew member clinging to a buoy, near the position where the burning vessel was discovered.
