Ferry with 190 on board strikes rock
SOUTH Korea’s coast guard is rescuing 192 people from a fast ferry that has struck a rock off country’s southwest coast.
The Yonhap News Agency says the vessel had reported six people sustained mild injuries from the initial impact.
The ship has 187 passengers and five crew aboard when it was forced to veer off course to avoid striking a fishing vessel.
It struck the rock about 3.47pm local time near Shinan county, some 400km south of Seoul.
Yonhap says passengers included tourists who had visited Hongdo Island, and were heading for Mokpo.
South Korea’s presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said that it is operating an emergency situation centre to deal with the case.
“We’ve got a report that rescue operations are under way,” said a presidential official.
The ship is reportedly in a stable condition, and weather conditions are calm but foggy.
Four coast guard vessels and nearby civilian ships and boats are responding to the mayday call. The injured passengers have reportedly been taken to shore and the remainder are transferring to other ships.
In 2014, a nearby ferry sinking cost 400 lives.
