Details
According to his parent company, the Jumbo restaurant overturned in the South China Sea on its way to an unknown location.
He sank near the Paracel Islands on Sunday after “getting into unfavorable conditions”, Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises reported. “The depth of the water at the scene is more than 1,000 meters, which makes it very difficult to carry out rescue operations,” the agency added.
Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises said it was “very upset by the incident”, but none of the crew were injured.
Addition
The restaurant closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is estimated that more than 3 million guests have tasted Cantonese cuisine over the years, including the Queen, Tom Cruise and Richard Branson.
He has been featured in several films, including a Bond film, but the pandemic has dealt a deadly blow to business.
Although the pandemic was the last straw for the restaurant, it has been facing financial problems for years. The operator Melco International Development said last month that since 2013 the business is not profitable and causes great losses.
