A small yacht capsized at the northeast corner of the sea and four people fell into the sea. The Australian Coast Patrol rescued three people and one person is still missing.

The Sixth Disaster Relief and Rescue Brigade of the New Taipei City Fire Department dispatched an ambulance to Aodi Fishing Port and was on standby.

The Aodi Coast Guard of the Coast Guard received a notification at around 2 pm today that a yacht capsized at 0.5 nautical miles off Magang and a total of 4 people fell into the sea. The Coast Guard immediately sent a boat to the scene for rescue, and notified the New Taipei City Fire Department to prepare ambulance assistance. Three people have been rescued so far, and they are expected to be sent to the Aodi Security Checkpoint and handed over to the care of ambulance personnel.

Preliminary investigation by the coast guard revealed that the small yacht was out to sea from Longdong in the morning and was about 7.3 meters long. When passing 0.5 kilometers off the coast of Magang, the yacht suddenly capsized and 4 people on board fell into the sea. Currently, 3 people have been rescued and they are all conscious. The other person is still missing and the search and rescue is ongoing.

After receiving the report from the coast patrol, the Sixth Disaster Rescue Brigade of the New Taipei City Fire Department also dispatched the brigade, Jinshan Squadron and Gongliao Squadron (meaning firefighting), a total of 12 people in 4 vehicles, to the scene for support. However, since the incident occurred more than 3 kilometers away from the coast, after the coast patrol personnel rescued the person, they would decide whether to assist in sending the person to the hospital depending on the situation.

The Australian Coast Patrol dispatched a boat to rescue the victim.
