A small fishing vessel capsized during trawling in Primorsky Krai. Four crew members were rescued, and the search for one missing person continues as authorities coordinate the ongoing operation.
Officials of the Far East Transport Prosecutor’s Office said the investigation into the incident remains active. Preliminary data indicate that around 22:40 local time on September 2, a small fishing boat overturned while trawling in the Bay of Peter the Great.
In the area of navigation safety, inspections and audits of compliance with applicable laws are ongoing to ensure proper procedures and safety standards are followed by maritime operators.
Earlier reports indicated another incident in the Lahdenpohsky district of Karelia, where a small boat capsized after launching from a fishing area during a confirmation of events. The details are being reviewed by regional authorities.
In Karelia, it was stated that ten people lost their lives when the vessel capsized. Five passengers on that boat were children. All those involved were rescued by a passing vessel, with no additional injuries reported at that time.
Additionally, there was an earlier disappearance after a river rafting trip in the Perm Territory. On a mid-summer date, an event involving 22 participants occurred, with 11 adults and 11 children setting out with the aim of reaching Srednyaya Usva village via the Usva River by early July. Contact with the group was lost during the journey, triggering search and rescue efforts by local authorities and volunteers.
