泰国湾一艘渔业供油船沉没：6名船员失踪 海军在Sattahip外海搜救
泰国皇家海军11月11日通报，一艘泰国籍渔业供油船「Venus 14」号当天在泰国湾沉没，船上6名船员失踪。沉没位置在春武里府Sattahip海军基地航道入口西南约27海里处（方位227度）。海军约在上午9时接到警报，沉没原因与船上燃油数量尚不清楚。
泰国皇家海军发言人、海军少将 Chanin Sriyaphai 表示，第一海军区司令部已派出巡逻艇 Tor 113 与一架一型海上监视飞机赶赴现场搜救；军舰 HTMS Panyi 与一架直升机待命，准备应对可能发生的燃油泄漏。
搜救行动同时与泰国海事局溢油应急中心及泰国海上执法指挥中心第一区协调进行。截至海军发布通报时，6名失踪船员的下落与状况仍未确认。
「Venus 14」号是为渔船供应燃油的辅助船只，并非大型原油油轮。泰国湾是泰国渔业与海上运输的重要水域，Sattahip 一带设有泰国海军的主要基地。
Fishing Fuel-Supply Vessel Sinks in the Gulf of Thailand: Six Crew Missing as Navy Searches off Sattahip
The Royal Thai Navy said on November 11 that a Thai-registered fishing fuel-supply vessel, Venus 14, sank that day in the Gulf of Thailand with six crew members missing. The vessel went down about 27 nautical miles southwest (bearing 227 degrees) of the entrance to the channel of the Sattahip Naval Base in Chonburi Province. The Navy received the alert at about 9 a.m.; the cause of the sinking and the amount of fuel on board were not yet known.
Royal Thai Navy spokesman Rear Admiral Chanin Sriyaphai said the First Naval Area Command had deployed patrol boat Tor 113 and a Type 1 maritime surveillance aircraft to search the area, while HTMS Panyi and a helicopter were on standby for a possible fuel spill.
The search is being coordinated with the Marine Department's oil spill centre and the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Centre Region 1. As of the Navy's announcement, the whereabouts and condition of the six missing crew members had not been confirmed.
Venus 14 is an auxiliary vessel supplying fuel to fishing boats, not a large crude oil tanker. The Gulf of Thailand is a key area for Thai fishing and shipping, and the Sattahip area hosts a major Royal Thai Navy base.
