​​「珍寶海鮮舫在上星期二(14日)離港,今日宣告一去不返。香港仔飲食集團指,海鮮舫在星期六(18日)下午駛至南中國海西沙群島附近水域遇上風浪,船身入水傾側,拖船公司曾嘗試救援但不果,至翌日全面入水翻轉沉沒,對海鮮舫的意外感到難過不捨。

香港仔飲食集團今日(20日)表示,事件中未有任何船員受傷,但由於事發地點水深超過1,000米, 擬進行打撈工程亦非常困難,現正向拖船公司進一步了解事故詳情。​

位於香港仔的珍寶海鮮舫自1976年開業,2020年3月因客量大減停業。行政長官林鄭月娥在2020年《施政報告》中曾提出「躍動港島南」,業主當時同意將海鮮舫捐贈予海洋公園,政府亦表示同意推動協作,以非牟利方式活化海鮮舫,但最後未能成事;林鄭早前亦表明不會「勉強做」,海鮮舫早前被安排拖離香港到東南亞維修。」

"The Jumbo Restaurant departed from Hong Kong last Tuesday (14th) and today announced that it will never return. The Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises stated that on Saturday (18th) afternoon, the seafood boat encountered rough seas near the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea. The boat tilted and took on water. The tugboat company attempted to assist, but their efforts were unsuccessful. By the following day, the boat was fully submerged, capsized, and sank. The group expressed sorrow over the incident and their reluctance to part with the floating restaurant.

Today (20th), the Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises stated that no crew members were injured in the incident. However, due to the location of the incident, with water depths exceeding 1,000 meters, salvage operations would be extremely difficult. The group is currently seeking further details of the accident from the tugboat company.

The Jumbo Restaurant, located in Aberdeen, Hong Kong, opened in 1976 and ceased operations in March 2020 due to a sharp decline in customer numbers. In her 2020 Policy Address, Chief Executive Carrie Lam proposed "Dynamic South Island," and the owners agreed at the time to donate the seafood boat to Ocean Park. The government also expressed its support for revitalizing the boat in a non-profit manner, but this plan ultimately fell through. Carrie Lam earlier stated that she would not "force it." The floating restaurant was subsequently arranged to be towed from Hong Kong to Southeast Asia for maintenance."
