A large catch is cited as the cause of the sinking of the Venus.

A surviving Indonesian sailor told YTN that the accident appeared to have occurred because he caught a lot of fish.

The Coast Guard also said in a briefing that the Venus may have sunk due to much larger catches than usual.

It is believed that Venus had to operate three to five times to catch the catch and caught it at once at the time.

[Kim Dae-cheol / Jeju Maritime Police Investigation Division: About 200 tons. I think that there was a lot of catch at the time, given that another carrier was waiting for it once.

He also explained that if the operation is prolonged, the fish on the surface will die and sink, which can weigh more.

The Coast Guard investigated the captain of the same fleet and officials of the fishing industry as a reference to see if the large catch affected the loss of resilience.

It is also looking into whether the ships that help the main line did their job when lifting the net and whether the Venus ferry properly took safety measures according to the large catch.

The Coast Guard will salvage the sunken Venus and investigate the hull defects later.
