The North Sea Maritime Salvation Bureau said on Friday that 25 Chinese crew members aboard a Panama-registered cargo ship had been rescued, a few hours after the ship became trapped off the north China coast due to a motor malfunction.
The 10,000-ton-class vessel was trapped in the Bohai Sea in the early hours of the morning while it was en route from Yantai city to Dalian city, according to the salvation bureau.
The rescue team found the ship 45 minutes after it received an SOS and towed it to Dalian port with cables around 9 a.m..
Bureau officials said the rescue was timely, because winds reaching 20 meters per second were approaching the area, according to forecasts.
