Simplified Wreck Survey

The underwater wreck identified as NO.3, formerly located at coordinates 22 33.233 N, 120 18.017 E near the port entrance of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, has been officially removed. Historical surveying records from the UK Hydrographic Office confirm that this obstruction, which was previously marked by red buoys at the bow and stern, was cleared following reports that the harbor entrance was safe for navigation. As of the final survey confirmation in May 1988, the wreck NO.3 is no longer present at this location, and the area is clear for maritime traffic. Mariners should note that this site no longer contains structural wreckage or navigational hazards.
