Template:Contains Korean text The South Korean ferry Sewol (Korean: 세월호; Hanja: 歲月號) capsized on 16 April 2014. It was carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School (Ansan City) who were travelling from Incheon to Jeju.[5] The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) off Gwanmaedo Island at 08:58 Korea Standard Time (23:58 UTC, 15 April 2014).

Many passengers were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels, which were first on the scene before the arrival approximately 30 minutes later of Korean Coast Guard and ROK Navy ships, backed by helicopters.[6][7] There are ongoing rescue efforts by the South Korean government, the United States Navy, civilian groups and individuals.

The last major ferry disaster in South Korea was in October 1993, when 292 of the 362 passengers on board died.[8][9]

MV Sewol (Korean: MV 세월호; 2012–14), previously Ferry Naminoue or Naminoue-Maru (Japanese: フェリーなみのうえ; 1994–2012) was built by the Japanese company Hayashikane (Japanese: 林兼船渠).[10] At 146 m (479 ft) in length and 22 m (72 ft) in width,[11] it could carry 921 passengers[12] – a maximum capacity, including the crew, of 956.[10] It had been reported to have space for 180[10] or 220 cars[13] and could carry 152 twenty-foot shipping containers.[10] The maximum speed of the ship was 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph).[13]

Ferry Naminoue operated in Japan for 18 years from 1994.[11] In October 2012 the ship was bought by Cheonghaejin Marine Company, Incheon, renamed Sewol and refurbished.[14][15]. Modifications included adding extra passenger cabins on the third, fourth and fifth decks, raising the passenger capacity by 181, and increasing the weight of the ship by 239 tons.[16] After regulatory and safety checks by the government of South Korea and the Korean Register of Shipping (KR), the ship began its operation in South Korea on 15 March 2013.[16] The ship then made two or three round-trips every week from Incheon to Jeju.[10][14] It was reported that Sewol again passed a vessel safety inspection by the South Korean Coast Guard on 19 February 2014 following an Intermediate Survey to ensure the ship remains in a general condition which satisfies KR's requirements.[10][17]

Passengers

The Ministry of Security and Public Administration vice-minister, Lee Gyeon-og, stated that there were 459 people aboard, the majority of whom were high school students who were on their way to a four day field trip: 30 crew members, 325 high school students of Danwon High School, 15 school teachers and 89 non-student passengers were aboard the ship.[2] Other reports put the number of passengers between 450 and 475.

Capsizing

Sailing route, Position

The ship was on a 400 kilometres (250 mi) frequently traveled route from Incheon to Jeju[18] when the ship began to take on water on the morning of 16 April.[19] The capsizing began about 25 kilometres (16 mi) off the southwest coast.[20] The cause has been officially attributed to a sharp turn[21] which was made between 8:48 and 8:49 am KST.[22] At the time of the accident, conditions were calm and the area did not contain rocks or reefs.[18] Passengers reported feeling a tilt of the ship.[23]

Immediately after the accident, the captain is reported to have returned to the bridge and attempted to re-balance the ship.[18] At 8:55 am, the ferry established contact with the Jindo vessel traffic service (VTS) and asked VTS to notify the coast guard that the ship was rolling and in danger.[24] At 8:58, the ferry was reported to the coast guard to be capsizing[25] by a parent whose child had asked for a rescue.[26] Soon afterwards, a loud 'bang' was reported, and the passengers were repeatedly ordered not to move over the intercom[23] by the communications officer.[27] At 9:06 am, the VTS attempted to establish contact with Sewol, which it did at 9:07 am. At this point, it was confirmed that the ship was capsizing. At 9:14 am, the crew stated that the ship's tilting made evacuation impossible. At 9:18 am, the crew reported that the ferry had tilted more than 50 degrees to port.[28] At 9:23 am, VTS ordered the crew to inform the passengers to wear personal flotation devices, and told the crew to personally order the passengers to wear thick clothes or lifebuoys when the crew replied that the broadcasting equipment was out of order.[28]

On 9:25 am, VTS asked the captain to decide whether to evacuate the ship, stating that VTS did not have enough information to make the decision. When the captain inquired about the rescue, VTS replied that patrol boats were due to arrive in 10 minutes and helicopters in one minute. The captain then replied that there were too many passengers for the helicopter.[28] At 9:30 am, the ferry was reported to have listed 20 degrees to port.[29] On 9:33 am, after confirming that nearby ships had volunteered to help in the rescue operations, VTS requested lifeboats to be dropped overboard for the passengers. On 9:38 am, all communications were cut off between VTS and the ferry. About three minutes after all communications were cut, about 150 to 160 passengers and crew jumped overboard. [28]

By around 11:18 am, the bow of the ship was submerged, with a section about 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) high and 20 to 30 metres (66 to 98 ft) in length showing above the water. At 8 am on 18 April, only 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) of the bow was above water.[30] As of 1:03 pm, the ship was completely submerged.[31]

During the capsizing, it was at first believed that passengers trapped in the vessel were able to send text messages to friends and family as the vessel sank.[32] However, subsequent investigations by the Cyber Terror Response Center reported that survivors had not used their phones from noon on the 16th to 10 am on the 17th and determined that all reported text messages were fake.[33]

Ocean temperatures in the area where the ship capsized were around 12 °C (54 °F), and at that temperature the length of time before symptoms of hypothermia appear is approximately 90 minutes.[34]

Rescue operations

At 8:58 am KST, 16 April, units from the Republic of Korea Navy were sent to help in the rescue effort.[35] At 9:04 am, the Central Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters (중앙재난안전대책본부) was created by the government of South Korea. At 9:10 am, a rescue operations headquarters was set up in the Republic of Korea Coast Guard.[36] At 9:35 am, The Korean Ministry of National Defense started operating Counter-disaster Headquarters (재난대책본부).[37] At 9:40 am, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries declared the accident to be the highest state of emergency in terms of naval accidents; consequently, the Central Accident Response Headquarters (중앙사고수습본부) was established.[38]

Naval forces include the 3rd Fleet (제3함대; 第三艦隊) soldiers, a Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship, a Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin-class destroyer, and an Ulsan-class frigate. The Republic of Korea Air Force sent support units such as the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk, and HH-47 variant of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook. The Republic of Korea Army sent units including 150 Special Warfare Command soldiers and 11 ambulances.[39]

  • 17 April – As of 6 am KST, 171 ships, 29 aircraft and 30 divers were involved in the rescue effort.[40] The Korea Coast Guard had assigned 20 divers in teams of two. The Republic of Korea Navy had also assigned 8 divers. There were also civilian efforts.[40] By 3:32 pm KST, the number of divers had increased to 555.[41][42]
  • 18 April – At 10:50 am divers had entered the capsized ship's hull despite strong tides, darkness and presence of silt in water,[43] but they could not reach the passenger area,[44] though they were trying to pump oxygen at high pressure in the hope that some of the missing passengers might have survived in the air pocket inside the vessel.[45]
  • 19 April – At 5:40 three bodies were recovered from the passenger cabins on the fourth floor of the ship by divers for the first time.[46] The coast guard plan to lift the boat by two to three meters on consent of the divers if they found it safe, for which three cranes have arrived at the spot.[47]

Survivors

Initial reports stated that rescuers retrieved 368 people from cold waters as the passengers, mostly school students, had jumped overboard when the vessel started sinking, but the South Korean government later corrected this statement, saying 295 passengers remained missing.[48]

Early in the rescue efforts, a 27-year-old female crew member was found dead inside the sinking vessel and a male high school student died shortly after arriving at hospital.[49][50]

In its 17 April morning edition, The Chosun Ilbo reported that 174 people had been rescued, 4 had died, and 284 were missing.[25] According to CNN and its affiliate YTN, six people died.[3] News1 Korea reported that, as of 8 am KST on 17 April 179 people had been rescued, 6 had died and 290 were missing.[40] Three more people were found dead at 11 am KST and the confirmed death toll rose to 9.[51] At 10 pm KST, Yonhap news confirmed that the death toll had risen to 14.[52] By the morning of 18 April, the death toll had risen to 28.[53] On 19 April, the death toll rose to 36.[54] By 20 April, the death toll reached 49.[55][56]

Foreign response

U.S. Marines assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit responding to the scene of Korean passenger ship Sewol that sank 16 April 2014.
  • The Japan Coast Guard offered support with a message of sympathy and condolences from the Japanese government, but the Republic of Korea Coast Guard declined the offer, saying that while the offer was welcome, special assistance was not needed on this occasion.[60]

Investigation

The ROK Coast Guard launched an investigation on the events of the day of the accident, mostly centered around the captain,[61] Lee Joon-seok.

Causes

The ROK Coast Guard has reached the provisional conclusion that a sudden turn and the consequent shift of the cargo was the cause of the accident.[21] However, other sources have commented on the causes of the accident.

Sudden-turn theory

A sudden turn of the ship (Korean: 변침; Hanja: 變針) was suspected as the cause since the onset of the investigation.[61][62] The analysis of the Automatic Identification System of the ship confirmed a sudden turn and supported the theory.[61] As of 17 April, the sudden turn is officially determined by the ROK Coast Guard as the cause.[21]

Lee Sang-Yun (Korean: 이상윤), a professor and head of the environment/maritime technology institute of the Pukyong National University also advocated that there were multiple causes, but put forward a theory of a progression of the capsizing through 6 steps. The steps are: 1. Abnormal speeds during traveling (contradicts the fact that Automatic Identification System (AIS) showed that it had been traveling at around 17 to 18 knots before slowing to 5 to 6 knots) ; 2. Passing quickly in a section in which the flow velocity has an average of 8 km/hr and an appearance of an obstacle (such as a wave); 3. A sudden turn to avoid this obstacle; 4. The initial sideways flop; 5. Flooding of the ship; 6. Consequent capsizing. Lee argues against the "explosion theory" by attributing the sounds of the "explosion" to the fourth step and the sound of the cargo shifting.[63]

Kim Gill-Soo (Korean: 김길수), a professor of maritime transport technological department in the Korea Maritime University argued that the construction was the main cause behind the accident and that the ship capsized when forces from inside and the outside were applied.[16]

Explosion theory

Gong Gil-Young (Korean: 공길영), a professor of aviation engineering in the Korea Maritime University, has commented that the sudden turn was simply the 'first cause' and that there were secondary causes to the incident. He advocated an explosion as the most probable secondary cause.[64]

Reef collision theory

At the beginning of the investigation, the ROK Coast Guard believed that the cause was due to a collision with a reef, especially since the area was foggy.[65] However, this cause has been denied by the captain[66] and has been discarded by a consensus among the various experts.[67] The theory is also not currently advocated by the Coast Guard.[21]

Conduct of the captain

Captain Lee Jun-Seok was one of the first to leave the ship to safety after the disaster. Such conduct is a violation of the maritime principle that the captain goes down with the ship, that is, the captain should remain on board until everyone is rescued, and if unable to rescue everyone, should die trying. Lee was blasted by maritime experts for his action, frequently being compared to Francesco Schettino, captain during the Costa Concordia disaster. South Korean law explicitly requires captains to remain on the ship during a disaster.[68] Prosecutors sought to arrest Lee after state prosecutor Park Jae-Eok said that he was not present in charge of the ship at the time of the incidents and that the third mate was at the helm.[69][70] Others arrested with Lee were a helmsman and the third officer. Two days later, four more unknown men were arrested too. South Korean President Park Geun-hye said of the captain and some of the crew that their behavior was "utterly incomprehensible, unacceptable and tantamount to murder" and that it was "utterly unimaginable, legally and ethically." Lee Ju-young, the minister in charge of the ocean policies, was heckled when meeting family members of those on board the vessel.[71]

Reactions

South Korean President Park Geun-hye ordered maximum efforts to rescue as many survivors as possible.[72] On 17 April, Park visited the accident site.[61] Political candidates for local offices temporarily stopped campaigns.[61] Lee Gyeong-og added that the immediate focus was on rescue measures.

Barack Obama, President of the United States, sent his condolences and stated that the United States would help in the search for survivors.[73] Truong Tan Sang, the president of Vietnam, as well as the deputy prime minister and the minister of foreign affairs sent their condolences to Yun Byung-se, Korea's Minister of Foreign Affairs.[74] Xi Jinping, the president of China[75] and Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong sent their condolences to the president of South Korea.[76]

Aftermath

On 17 April, a representative of the Cheonghaejin Marine Company apologised for the incident.[77]

Kang Min-kyu, 52, the vice principal of the Danwon High School which many of the victims attended, was rescued from the ship but was later found hanging from a tree in Jindo, near the gymnasium where relatives of the victims were camping out. Police stated that he used his own belt to hang himself and a note was found in his wallet. [78] According to the two-page note, he had organized the field trip that had brought the high school party aboard the doomed ship. "Surviving alone is too painful when 200 lives are unaccounted for... I take full responsibility."[70][79] The note ends with a request that his body be cremated and the ashes scattered over the site of the accident, "that I might be a teacher in heaven to those kids whose bodies have not been found." [80]
