Local authorities immediately launched an emergency rescue operation after being informed around 11:00.
Two helicopters were dispatched from Gaodong Airport and Wenzhou Longwan Airport to initiate the rescue. Six fisherman were successfully airlifted from the boat, despite strong winds brought by Typhoon Tapah.

In the meantime, a nearby vessel coordinated by the Marine Search and Rescue Center joined the rescue work, saving the remaining three fishermen and taking them to a safe location.
