兩艘載有大批中國遊客的觀光船在泰國布吉遇上風浪翻沉,至少一人死亡,另外有 53 人失蹤。

泰國當局表示,其中一艘船在大浪中翻沉之後,有拖網漁船在海上救出 48 名乘客。

而當另外一艘觀光船翻沉後,亦再有另外 39 人獲救。

當局初步估計,兩艘船一共載有 133 名乘客。

事發在當地時間約下午四時;當時其中一艘載有 90 多人的觀光船正由 Koh Racha 返回布吉途中。

該艘船隻的船長表示,當時海面捲起五米高巨浪,淹浸船隻並令船隻慢慢下沉,他就立即警告所有乘客盡快穿著救生衣並隨即為救生筏充氣。

網上流傳的視頻片段顯示,觀光船遇上極大風浪後翻沉,部分遊客坐在充氣救生艇上,隨幾米高的大浪漂浮,路經船隻要設法營救。

有救援人員表示,該名死者是在海上被發現,當時有穿著救生衣。

中國駐泰國宋卡府總領事館已啟動應急機制,緊急聯繫當地政府、水警與海軍等相關部門,敦促對方全力救助,聯繫當地醫院及遊客協助中心。
