Simplified Wreck Survey

The shipwreck CHI YU 202 is documented at coordinates 22 30 N, 120 5 E, located in the waters off the southwestern coast of Taiwan. Historical records from the UK Hydrographic Office and Lloyds indicate the vessel sank at this position, though subsequent surveys describe the site as too deep and the wreckage location as too vague to chart on modern navigational maps. The wreck is not shown on official Japanese maritime charts for the region. While specific structural details of the CHI YU 202 remain unconfirmed by hydrographic surveys, the site is recognized in maritime databases as an underwater obstruction point near the Taiwan coast.
