Reviews & Ratings for the Guo-Mao-1

On February 16, 2024, at approximately 7 a.m., the vessel 'Gua Maru 1' encountered an engine malfunction while located around 10 kilometers from the Cape Kodomari South Lighthouse. The ship, which had departed from Tokachi Port in Hokkaido and was en route to Sakata Port in Yamagata Prefecture, was forced to anchor off Kodomari after drifting southward in the Sea of Japan. By 1:35 p.m., the 'Gua Maru 1' successfully anchored about four kilometers from the coast of Tsugaru City, where repair activities began. Fortunately, all crew members—comprising two Chinese nationals and 12 Vietnamese—remained unharmed during the incident. Efforts by the Hakodate Coast Guard's patrol boat Tsugaru to tow the distressed ship to safety were hampered by adverse sea conditions, forcing a temporary halt to the operation. Coast Guard headquarters maintained regular communication with the vessel throughout the ordeal.
