Emergency Patient and Water Leisure Equipment Flooding Accident Occur in Jeju... All Rescued

During the Children's Day holiday, an emergency patient transfer from Chuja Island and a power water leisure craft sinking accident occurred within Jeju, all of which were safely rescued by the Jeju Coast Guard.

According to the Jeju Maritime Police Station on the 7th, at around 3:19 PM the previous day, a report was received that motorboat A (2.08t, 2 people) was sinking and unable to operate near Hamdeok Seoubong Beach. Rescue teams, the Jeju Police Substation coastal rescue boat, and patrol vessels were dispatched to the scene.

At the accident site, with wind speeds of 12m/s and high waves of 1.5 to 2 meters, it was difficult for nearby fishing boats to assist in the rescue. However, at around 3:35 PM, a patrol vessel arrived at the scene and safely rescued the two crew members, then carried out dewatering operations and towed the boat safely to a nearby port.

Also, at 4:04 PM on the 4th, Mr. B (male, in his 60s), who was taking arrhythmia medication on Chuja Island, complained of breathing difficulties, and an emergency transfer request was immediately received, prompting the dispatch of the Chuja Police Substation and patrol vessels.

The emergency patient Mr. B, who had been taking arrhythmia medication regularly, experienced shortness of breath and visited the Chuja Health Center. Upon examination, it was determined that a detailed examination was necessary. He boarded a 200-ton patrol vessel using the Chuja Police Substation boat and was safely handed over to a 119 ambulance waiting at Jeju Port at around 6:15 PM on the same day.

This year, the Jeju Coast Guard has been doing its best to protect the lives of citizens by transferring a total of 11 emergency patients.
