After both vessels were inspected by responding Coast Guard boats, they were deemed fit to continue their journeys. The 'Shun Fa 698' successfully sailed to Quanzhou Harbor where it docked safely. Meanwhile, the 'Kharis Pegasus', which was en route from Fukuyama to Kaohsiung, left the scene and anchored at Kaohsiung roads despite sustaining damage to its port side railing and hull. The fishing vessel also incurred damage as a result of the collision.
