FV Argos Georgia号渔船在距离福克兰群岛海岸约200英里的南大西洋沉没，造成至少8人死亡，7人失踪。

这艘冷冻船建于2018年，当时船上载有27名船员，遭遇严重洪水，迫使船员在极端天气条件下弃船。

2024年7月21日，Argos Georgia号离开斯坦利港，前往渔场。

2024年7月22日，该船在港口以东200英里处报告了严重的洪水。



随着情况的恶化，船员们在船沉没前弃船登上了救生筏。

英国南大西洋群岛部队（BFSAI）派出了一架远程搜索飞机，以确定救生筏的位置并保持其位置。

一艘渔业巡逻艇和两艘“Good Samaritan”渔船被派往协助。

然而，据阿根廷新闻媒体InfoBae报道，由于恶劣的天气条件，包括高达25英尺的海浪高度，BFSAI试图用直升机进行救援的努力被取消了。

福克兰岛的一艘警船从一艘救生筏上救出了13名船员，而一艘“Good Samaritan”渔船救出了一名幸存者，并从另一艘救生筏上救出了一名遇难船员。

截到2024年7月23日晚，又发现了7具尸体，确认有8人死亡，14人幸存。

福克兰群岛政府表示，几名船员已获救，对失踪者的搜寻仍在继续。

福克兰群岛政府通讯负责人Sally Heathman告诉CNN，这是一个发展中的情况，他们不会提供更多的评论。

Argos Georgia号是一艘160英尺长的冷冻延绳渔船，在南乔治亚岛附近的巴塔哥尼亚齿鱼渔场作业。

EFE报道称，其中10名船员是来自加利西亚渔业的西班牙国民。

欧洲议会渔业委员会主席卡门·克雷斯波(Carmen Crespo)表达了对加利西亚人民的声援，他表示，这起事故凸显了捕鱼活动的残酷现实和海上专业人士所面临的风险。

搜救行动由福克兰群岛政府、英国驻南大西洋群岛总部、南乔治亚岛和南桑威奇群岛、英国海事和海岸警卫局、Argos Georgia管理公司以及其他海上渔船等多个实体开展。

在发出沉船警报后，阿根廷海军启动了搜救行动。

包括直升机和船只在内的搜索行动将继续进行。

获救的船员被转移到斯坦利的爱德华七世国王纪念医院接受医疗检查。

福克兰群岛政府向这一不幸事件的受害者家属表示慰问。

英文原文

The fishing vessel FV Argos Georgia sank in the South Atlantic, about 200 miles off the coast of the Falkland Islands, killing at least 8 people and leaving 7 more missing.



The freezer longliner, built in 2018, was carrying 27 crew members when it experienced significant flooding, forcing the crew to abandon the ship in extreme weather conditions.



The Argos Georgia departed Port Stanley on July 21, 2024, heading towards its fishing grounds.



On July 22, 2024, the vessel reported heavy flooding 200 miles east of the port.



As the situation deteriorated, the crew abandoned the ship and boarded life rafts before the vessel sank.



The British Forces South Atlantic Islands (BFSAI) launched a long-range search aircraft to locate the rescue rafts and maintain their position.



A fisheries patrol vessel and two Good Samaritan fishing vessels were dispatched to assist.



However, an attempted helicopter rescue effort by BFSAI was called off due to adverse weather conditions, including wave heights of up to 25 feet, according to Argentine news outlet InfoBae.



A Falkland Island police vessel rescued 13 crew members from one life raft, while a Good Samaritan fishing vessel rescued one survivor and recovered one deceased crew member from another.



Seven more bodies were found by the night of July 23, 2024, resulting in eight confirmed fatalities and 14 known survivors.



The Falkland Islands government stated that several crew members had been rescued and that the search for the missing continues.



The Falkland Islands Government’s head of communications, Sally Heathman, told CNN that this is a developing situation and that they will provide no more comment.



The Argos Georgia was a 160-foot freezer longliner operating in the Patagonian toothfish fishery off South Georgia.



EFE reports that ten of the crew members were Spanish nationals from the Galician fishing industry.



Carmen Crespo, the chair of the European Parliament’s Fisheries Committee, expressed solidarity with the Galician people, stating that the accident highlights the harsh reality of fishing activity and the risk the sea professionals experience.



The search and rescue operation is being carried out by a number of entities, including the governments of the Falkland Islands, HQ British Forces South Atlantic Islands, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency, the Argos Georgia management company, and other fishing vessels at sea.



Following the sinking alert, Argentina’s Navy launched search and rescue operations.



The search operation, involving helicopters and vessels, will continue.



Rescued crew members are being transferred to Stanley’s King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for medical examinations.



The Falkland Islands government expressed condolences to the families involved in this unfortunate incident.
