Simplified Wreck Survey

The Sin Hua Ung is an underwater wreck and navigational obstruction located in the South China Sea off the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia, at coordinates 2 52.243 N, 111 39.677 E. First reported sunk in April 1985, the vessel was initially marked by an isolated danger light buoy positioned just to the northwest. By November 1985, maritime reports indicated that the warning buoy had gone missing. A hydrographic survey conducted in August 1987 confirmed the precise location of the submerged wreck, recording a shallow least depth of only 0.5 meters over the obstruction with no buoy remaining on site.
