Jumbo Ikon Hong Kong restaurant sank more than 1000 meters in the South China Sea, making it very difficult to do rescue work. The famous jumbo floating restaurant in Hong Kong overturned after experiencing a ‘bad condition’ in the South China Sea. The ship sank while being pulled by Tugboat from his house for 46 years. However, no crew members were injured in the incident.
Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises said that the main restaurant’s ship was traveling to a shipyard that was kept secret when it was reversed on Saturday after the ‘Bad Condition’ meeting in the South China Sea.
After being referred to as the largest floating restaurant in the world, Jumbo Kingdom displayed in many Hong Kong and International films and also held various high -ranking officials, including Queen Elizabeth II, Jimmy Carter and Tom Cruise. This restaurant is famous for its magnificent imperial style facades, neon lights, large paintings assigned to the stairs and colorful Chinese style motifs.
Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises, in an official statement, said that it was very sad with the incident. As a call for an investigation of what caused sinking harder, the Hong Kong government sought reports from the owner about how the ship was reversed at sea, the RTHK public announcer reported.
The restaurant suffered a loss
Since 2013, the restaurant group began to suffer a deficit because the population of fishing in the southern port of the island was reduced. In March 2020, during Pandemi Covid-19, the owner announced that the loss had piled up to $ 13 million and announced that the restaurant would be closed until further notification.
Although some proposals are announced to revive the restaurant, high maintenance costs every year prevents potential investors. After months of COVID-19 restrictions, the parent company could not find a new owner and did not have the funds to maintain it.
Jumbo’s departure from Hong Kong is the nostalgia of many Hong Kong residents. Residents said goodbye to the iconic jumbo restaurant on Tuesday (June 14) because he was withdrawn by Tugboat from his house for 46 years. Some also shared farewell messages and beautiful memories from previous visits.
