In a devastating maritime accident, the cargo vessel 'Heng Run' sank following a collision with the bulk carrier 'Wan Li 8' on July 13, 2015, at 12:15 AM. The incident occurred at coordinates 30°14'N 122°38'E, approximately 25 nautical miles northeast of Zhoushan and 80 miles southeast of Shanghai. The 'Heng Run,' which was carrying a hefty 5,000 tons of iron ore from Vietnam to South Korea, went down within minutes after the collision. Upon receiving an urgent distress signal from the 'Wan Li 8,' which was transporting 3,700 tons of steel from Zhangjiagang to Kaohsiung, the Zhejiang Maritime Rescue Department swiftly mobilized three rescue boats and called upon the local navy for additional support. Rescue teams successfully located and saved seven crew members from the 'Heng Run,' while the local navy managed to rescue five more. Tragically, one crew member was found deceased, and another managed to swim to safety on Huangxing Island. As the day unfolded, a total of 14 members from the crew were rescued, but the incident cast a shadow over the maritime community, marking a somber reminder of the hazards at sea.
