19일 오후 5시30분께 일본 와카야마(和歌山)현 남쪽 약 740㎞의 태평양 해상에서 한국선적 자동차 운반선 ‘아시안 엠 파이어’에서 화재가 발생했다.
NHK 등에 일본 언론에 따르면 7만 1천톤급의 이 운반선에는 한국인 11명과 필리핀인 13명 등 24명이 탑승중이던 것으로 밝혀졌다.
이들은 일본 해상보안청에 “배에 화재가 발생해 탈출한다”고 통보한 뒤 구명보트로 탈출해 인근 선박의 도움으로 전원 무사히 구조됐다.
해상보안청 제4관구 해상보안본부(나고야<名古屋>)에 따르면 이날 밤 11시15분께 사고 현장 부근을 항해 중이던 선박으로부터 “전원을 구조했다”는 무선 연락이 접수됐다.
현재 해상보안청 항공기와 순시선이 현장 해역으로 향하고 있다.
