At nine in the morning, the accident investigation officially began.
In fact, Director Liu had arranged for law enforcement personnel to retrieve recordings of communications between Zhangjia Port Traffic Control Center and the dock port with the two cargo ships, as well as relevant evidence preserved by the VTS system yesterday.
However, the current task is to first question the crew, and once the questioning is completed and notes are made, representatives from Chinese and South Korean shipping companies along with insurance company and Shipowners' Mutual Protection Association representatives will listen to the recordings and review relevant records from the VTS system to "replay" the whole process of the accident to analyze the causes leading to the collision.
The cargo ship "Yuzhang" capsized, and over a dozen crew members are ashore, all in Binjiang.
The investigation began with the crew of "Yuzhang," calling them all to the Maritime Bureau for questioning one by one.
