The Ryukyu public ship Ryukyu ran aground and all three engines were broken. Today’s project report continues to be questioned by the locals.

The Ryukyu liner of Ryukyu Township Public Transportation Company "Ryuhei Company" ran aground when entering the port at the end of last month and was seriously damaged. After about half a month of coordination, Daifuku Shipping officially took over the first and last shifts today. Since the outside world is full of doubts about the whole thing, villagers today The representative meeting convened a special extraordinary meeting and asked the township head Chen Guozai to report on the missing incident. Since the Liuxing ship was a new ship only 5 years old, the township representative made noises about the poor management of the public ship. After the meeting, they unanimously agreed to set up an investigation team to comprehensively clarify the operation of the public ship.

On the eve of Typhoon Qiangbi, the Liu Xing liner ran aground on the wave-absorbing block and was seriously damaged. It was put on board for maintenance in Kaohsiung. This was the most serious maritime accident affecting commuters since the establishment of the public shipping company. Many villagers questioned why the Liu Xing liner was a new ship for 5 years. Why were there so many accidents? In addition, having received loss subsidies in recent years, and the day of the grounding was before a typhoon hit, it is really unacceptable to use long waves and driftwood as excuses for the accident. Cai Jiayin, chairman of the township representative committee, held an extraordinary meeting today to ask the township officials to make it clear.

Township head Chen Guo said in the report that the propellers of the three engines were all damaged. Fortunately, the bottom hull of the ship was not damaged and water had entered. One of the main shafts was suspected to be offset. The entire ship needs more precise X-ray "flaw detection". The return date and repair cost have not yet been determined. The most important task at this stage is to make up for the unique "first and last" sailings of the public ships. Support has been coordinated with Daifuku Shipping Company, and it is officially on the road today. The first and last ships are sailed by public ship crews, so as not to affect the rights and interests of the villagers.

The interim meeting also exposed the video of the incident. Everyone agreed that after the public ship entered the port, there was no sign of slowing down or correcting the channel. There was no driftwood in the picture. There was a sampan in front of it at the time. If there were a lot of driftwood, it was impossible for the sampan to sail without being affected. Township representatives questioned the captain's statement.

Hong Wenliang, vice chairman of the Township Congress and chairman of the Ryukyu District Fisheries Association, pointed out that no matter what kind of ship, it must slow down as soon as it enters the port, but the video shows that it does not slow down or change direction to avoid, and the long waves and driftwood mentioned by the captain of the public boat are almost impossible to identify from the picture, which is full of doubts.

Representatives also questioned that the official ship where the accident occurred did not have a recorder or monitor. Passengers reported that the official ship or the company did not send personnel to express condolences immediately after the incident. Therefore, after the meeting, all representatives unanimously approved the establishment of an investigation team, hoping to play a supervisory role and investigate the cause of the accident, ship management, maintenance costs, insurance claims and responsibility.

Chen Guozai responded that the captain said after the incident that the one-sided doubts of some township representatives can only be clarified after a maritime investigation, and promised to strengthen the installation of ship recorders.
