According to the Sacheon Coast Guard Station, the bow of the vessel was hanging on the pier cliff, and one-third of the stern was submerged in water.

A Coast Guard official stated, “The sunken vessel was safely rescued, and there were no casualties or marine pollution caused by the leakage of hazardous substances.”
