On board were 132 people, 56 of them died. 13 sailors are considered lost. 63 rescued, but seven of them are unconscious in critical condition.

At the time of signing the numbers search was suspended because of darkness. And it was a question of how to help the wounded. Ministry of Emergency Situations at the time did not plan to send a special flight from Moscow for survivors in the Okhotsk Sea fishermen told the “RG” in a national crisis center of the Ministry.
The fact is that the survivors are not so easy to be transported to shore. All the saved are on different ships (they then decided nevertheless to deliver on one ship, although it is extremely difficult). In the area of the accident – 26 ships that were nearby and urgently come to the aid of brooks trawler wreck. To any of the nearby ports approximately equal number of kilometers, the time is about three days running. Goes to deliver the survivors to shore, all ships operating in the emergency area, had to leave the place of the search and take a course to port. But you can not do that, because so far not found a further 13 sailors from the sunken team “Far East”. And they themselves or their body it is necessary to find.
And so the emergency services all day yesterday working on options evacuation: how, when and where. In Magadan, Sakhalin, or in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky? As a result, the MOE had previously decided to evacuate most affected sailors rescue helicopter.
That’s why I had to bring them all together. The situation is complicated by the fact that none of which are in the disaster area is not equipped ships deck for landing rotorcraft. Have to raise frostbitten sailors on a rescue winch that conditions possible pitching and wind (lifeline swings with an amplitude of 1.5 meters), given the state of the victims, can be problematic.
And the first attempt failed. Flew the helicopter could not pick up the wounded.
According to the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, on board a trawler worked international team. Russians from 16 regions of the country was the most. In addition to them on board were citizens of the former USSR – Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, Moldavians and Latvians. As well as citizens from other countries – Vanuatu, Myanmar, Indonesia.
In addition, according to unconfirmed reports, the board could still be illegal and sailors from Asian countries, which could go on board to work on the frozen fish when the trawler docked at the port Pussan. And this still have to deal.
After the find all the victims, according to experts, the question arises, how many people exactly was on board. According to the project team trawler may not exceed 94 people. That’s the number of beds on board. However, at the moment it is already known that the “Far East” was 38 people more.
Where do they all lived and settled, is not entirely clear. But in any case it is a violation. But this will be dealt with later …
And now it is necessary not only to evacuate the wounded, to find the missing, but also to help the families of the sailors from the “Far East”.
Despite the fact that the tragedy occurred in the area of the Federal Agency for Fishery, the management of the complex rescue operation took over the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
Use the native will be engaged in the Special Commission. Minister of Emergency Situations Vladimir Puchkov ordered to create them in all regions of the Far East (on the ship were residents of 16 regions of Russia, but mostly all from the Far East). “It is necessary to form working groups on complex support victims’ families – the minister said the government commission. – I’ll have no formalities to provide medical assistance to citizens of other countries. Please help, and then deal with the formalities. The priority of our work – health care, support for all families, relatives of the victims “.
Also, Vladimir Puchkov has asked the Foreign Ministry through the consulate to organize the work to establish contacts with the families of those who have worked on the contract. We are talking about the citizens of countries such as Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Vanuatu, Latvia.
The latest news at the time of the signing of the rooms – Ministry of Emergency Situations sent amphibian Be-200ES to participate in the rescue operation.
Version
Survivors helped wetsuits
The captain and his assistant rescuers have not yet found. Tragedy seems to have happened suddenly. This is indicated by the fact that the ship did not have time even to signal SOS.
Survivors helped that they were all in suits, as at the time of the tragedy just choose trawl and were on the deck.
The sailors were rescued on emergency inflatable rafts, only found six of these objects. Two rafts were flooded, and people are not there. The temperature of the water in the area of flooding trawler was 2 degrees Celsius. Wetsuit allows you to be in such an environment is not more than 15-20 minutes, after this period the chances of survival in humans are left.
Rosrybolovstvo
His version of the incident in the Sea of Okhotsk from the trawler “Far East” stated Deputy Head of the Federal Agency for Fishery Vladimir Sokolov. In his view, the basis of the tragedy is the loss of the vessel stability, that is, in fact, his first coup on its side, and then – the keel up.
Sokolov said, remarking that it was at this time only his personal the assumption that the basis of the tragedy may lie the fact that before this tanker lifted the catch on deck. Fish weight was 80 tons. “When I started doing circulation coincided wind and wave, and perhaps there was a fateful moment – the ship heeled over, piled on the board,” – he said.
In this case, the deputy head of Russian Federal Fisheries Agency said that he was a captain on fishing Courts and his version has the right to exist. And at the same time noted that “a loss of stability due to the fact that the fuel on board was very little, but it should be checked, and were not filled with the double bottom tanks”.
Referring to his experience, he did not rule out the moment that the vessel first lasted about 30 minutes with a roll to one side, and only then turned over. And this has helped in the trawl and fish, which at that time was on board, creating additional strength, improve its center of gravity.
“It’s still going to check, but I guess it is confirmed. So simple a steamer does not drown, “- said the deputy head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.
Another thing that contributed to the fact that the tragedy occurred, may be the human factor.
” Of course, the main version – it’s human error. Fisherman’s very difficult to keep the human factor plays a very important role in fishing. The fishermen have passion, if there is fishing, of course, it is difficult to stop, and if it is something they did not finish, it can lead catastrophic consequences, which, strictly speaking, probably happened “- offered his version of Vladimir Sokolov.
Investigative Committee of Russia

It is one of the most likely causes of the rapid sinking ship called the possible collision with an obstacle, because of which there is damage to the body in the area of the engine room.
The official representative of the TFR Vladimir Markin said the investigation into the criminal case on the fact of flooding trawler “Far East” is taken to control the direction of the department.
According to him, the investigating authorities of the Far Eastern transport investigation department of the TFR into the flooding in the Okhotsk Sea trawler “Far East” criminal case on grounds of crime under Part 3 of Article 263 of the Criminal Code (violation of safety rules and operation of water transport, resulting in the death of two or more persons).
Experts
The experts called the other versions of the disaster. Among them, for example, that the cause of the flooding fishing trawler could become excessive exposure to ice on the hull of a ship.
“As a basic version of what happened so far considered excessive exposure to ice on the hull of a ship, leading to deformation, followed by partial destruction body “- so news agencies designated assumption source in the operational headquarters in the aftermath of a shipwreck.
However, no consensus yet among experts not. “Participated in the rescue operation of our center suggest that the ice fields on the spot flooding” Far East “is not observed. The same can be seen in their photos and made videos – told the” RG “head of the press center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations Sergei DVRTS Victoria.
Chief editor of “Maritime Bulletin” Mikhail Voitenko also eliminates version of collision with an obstacle. “I do not know where they dug up this version and why they clung for her. Well, there are some underwater obstacle in the center of the Sea of Okhotsk? Floe? Well, they are faced with ice, hole, water came out, but the ship does not lose stability instantly, as soon as there was a leak, it takes time, “- said Mikhail Voitenko.
Competent
Who are you, “Far East”?
On the singularities of the ship and its history, “RG” questioned Alexander Fomin, President of the All-Russian Association of Fishermen and exporters.
What does this do for the ship – large freezer trawler? They are often used? How old is usually such ships?
Alexander Fomin: A vessel which occurred tragedy – one of the largest vessels, which is engaged in the fishing industry. The body length is more than 100 meters, more autonomous navigation, the vessel is designed for all weather conditions, including in the open ocean and is capable of processing up to 300 tons of fish a day.
Year built concrete vessel – th 1989, that is to build such trawlers mainly in Soviet times, this type of vessels specifically in Nikolaev. Ships by and large not the old, for vessels of this type is generally a period.
I can say that this project is considered one of the most successful and cost-effective. And the last few years many ships of this type were modernized, their refurbished units replaced.
How is a large vessel in general can be flipped in calm sea conditions?
See also:
Alexander Fomin: Flip can be any vessel. So now called different versions. But I want to emphasize that in general it is difficult to turn. We must wait for the commission’s findings, now coming version is difficult to comment because some other exclusive offers.
I think that if there is water in the engine room, then there can be Capsizing (coup vessel the keel up. – “RG” ) if the hole – also unlikely.
What should I do to such accidents were no more?
Alexander Fomin: Any type of vessel inherently design in theory protected from force majeure. If the cause of the tragedy was the human factor – these are some conclusions, if it is a technical condition of the vessel, then another question arises – as it passed inspection at the register?
How do you assess the current state of the fishing fleet?
Alexander Fomin: The average age of about 27.5 years today, but this factor is not saying much, as both in Europe and in the US the average age of vessels close to the this. Moreover, there are ships that new, but look worse – it all depends on the shipowner.
The question another – as we exercise control and supervision over the fleet. It is necessary to study these problems.
Problem
out to sea without insurance?
President of the Far Eastern Association of Sea Captains Peter Osichansky believes that terrible death “Far East” again poked us in the problem of insurance of shipowners and integrity.
– If our laws require that seafarers and fishermen have been insured for a significant amount of not less than two million rubles, would have changed the whole philosophy maritime safety. Because the owner would have to take care of the condition of the vessel. The insurance company would check everything thoroughly – and the steamer, and documents. Then irresponsible shipowners would have taken off the market – he said.
