Search operations were under way off the southern island of Geoje after three crew members of a capsized fishing boat went missing on Saturday, authorities said.

당국은 토요일 전복된 어선의 선원 3명이 실종되었고 거제도에서 현재 수색작업이 진행 중이라고 밝혔다.


The 339-ton vessel capsized at around 4 p.m. in waters 1.11 kilometers southeast of the island, located some 400 km south of Seoul, with 10 crew members aboard ― nine South Koreans and one Indonesian ― according to the Coast Guard.

해경에 따르면 339톤급 선박은 이날 오후 4시경 서울에서 남쪽으로 400km 떨어진 거제도로부터 남동쪽으로 1.11km 떨어진 해상에서 전복됐으며 한국인 9명과 인도네시아인 1명 등 10명의 선원이 탑승했다.


Seven of them have been rescued, but search operations were still under way to find the three others, it said, adding that strong winds and high waves are hampering their efforts.

이 중 7명은 구조됐지만 나머지 3명은 여전히 수색작업이 진행 중이라며 강풍과 높은 파도가 이들의 구조 노력을 방해하고 있다고 설명했다.


Minister of Interior and Safety Jeon Hae-cheol ordered the mobilization of all available resources for the search and rescue effort.

전해철 행정안전부 장관은 수색과 구조 작업에 가용한 모든 자원을 동원하라고 지시했다.


After receiving a report on the incident, the Coast Guard dispatched 11 patrol boats and two helicopters to the scene. (Yonhap)

해경은 사고 신고를 받고 경비정 11척과 헬기 2대를 현장에 급파했다.
