This is the most serious shipwreck in South Korea in recent decades. South Korea's Prime Minister resigned, and the Marine Police Agency was dissolved because it failed to perform its due duties in the rescue.

Extended data:

20 14 10/6, South Korean prosecutors announced the investigation results of the sinking accident of the "Year of the Year", pointing out that many factors such as hull modification, overload and unskilled helmsman operation led to the accident.

According to Yonhap News Agency, after five months' investigation, the South Korean Grand Prosecutor's Office came to the conclusion that the shipping company belonging to the "Year of the Year" modified the hull to expand its load capacity, which destroyed the stability of the hull. When passing through the rapids, the unskilled helmsman turned sharply, causing the hull to lean to the left, making the ship unstable and eventually sinking.

According to the survey, when the accident happened, the "Year of the Year" carried 3,606 tons of goods and cars, which was three times the maximum cargo capacity. The Qinghai Town Shipping Company, to which the ship belongs, was accused of making up for the decline in passenger revenue by loading too much cargo.

This survey result is based on the opinions of the expert advisory group of the Ministry of Public Security and the Police Department, as well as the consistent conclusions drawn from the simulation analysis of the Institute of Marine Equipment of Seoul National University and the research group of ship marine performance optimization.

In addition, the prosecution also believes that the poor response of the marine police in the accident has also led to many victims. Although the marine police dispatched patrol boats to the incident waters immediately after the accident, they did not let passengers escape from the boats immediately after arriving at the scene, nor did they reasonably follow the provisions of the Disaster Management Manual. The marine police also made false documents after the prosecution started the investigation in an attempt to conceal their work mistakes.

After investigation, the staff of Zhendao Traffic Control Center 12 Marine Police were suspected of dereliction of duty, and did not do a good job of ship monitoring when the "Year of the Year" sailed to the nearby waters, and did not handle the distress signal of the "Year of the Year" according to the prescribed procedures. These staff members also deleted the electronic monitoring records at the time of the incident when the prosecution began the investigation.

The prosecution's investigation of the actual owner of Qinghai Town Shipping Company found that the actual owner Yu acquiesced in the overload of the ship after discovering the structural problems of the "Year of the Year". The prosecution also found that the Yu family illegally obtained about 654.38+0836 billion won (about 654.38+006 billion yuan) from its subsidiaries.

The prosecution also investigated the structural problems of the shipping industry, such as ship import, safety inspection and obtaining shipping-related licenses, and found illegal acts of non-profit legal persons such as "Korea Shipping Group" and "Korea Classification Society".

After the "Years" accident, 399 people, including the captain, crew, marine police, shipping companies, security agencies and other related personnel, were put on file for investigation, of which 154 people were arrested.

The passenger ship "Year of the Month" with 476 people on board accidentally entered the water in the sea area north of Feng Ping Island, Jindo County, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, and eventually sank. Only 172 people were rescued. Up to now, the accident has killed nearly 300 people, including four China passengers, and there are still 10 people missing.
