Cambodia News, (Sihanouk Province): According to the confirmation of boat owner, Then Yeun, his fishing boat and crew sank last night, at around 2am on 30 January 2023, near Koh Thas, between Koh Rong Samloen and Sihanouk City. There are high winds and big waves off the coast at the present time, a storm warning was issued, and the weather is presumed to be the cause of the accident. The boat owner added that there were six people on board the fishing vessel when it went down.

Currently, Okhna Tia Vichet has sent two high-speed boats from his company,which, in cooperation with the police, are continuing to search for survivors, although the search is facing a lot of difficulties due to the strong winds and waves.

screw those people shipping out during storm warnings. they should be forced to pay every penny of the rescue operation (as a warning to future fishers).

nevertheless I obviously hope they will be found, rescued and will be safe and sound.

If you can afford a fishing boat then surely you can afford a few days off!

What makes you think that? Many fishermen can barely subsist.

Worked on a fishing boat over the America's Cup off Fremantle, Gage Roads, 1983, when the wind blew up sending us to the leeward side of Rottnest Island waiting for the winds to pass - they didn't! The captain said there's no way he can afford to lose his gear (nets) so we're going first thing in the morning to retrieve them. It was fucking awful with multiple instances of almost capsizing - I walked off the boat in Fremantle, got paid, and quit on the spot.

I've known several fisherman, all of them relics of a different era, all of them assholes, and all of them broke!

What if those fishermen were forced out due to debt problems or other obligations? Desperate people do everything to get out of shitty times.

valid point but ultimately they aren't kids (with regards to responsibility); rescues bear lethal risks and cost money. it's just so unnecessary in this case

the cost guard in their control and rescue ships are absolute savages (I'm absolutely in awe every time I'm seeing and LISTENING to some YouTube uploads of them maneuvering in heavy waters).

From the OP, I got the impression that the "owner" of the boat was safely onshore, and if his crew went out in bad weather then they probably didn't have much choice.
