At present, there is no standardized, unified, standard, and obvious warning (marking) device to indicate the position, displacement direction and speed of the sunken ship in time when the ship begins to sink to the sinking process. . After the ship sinks, the ship's position stored in the VDR is obtained by searching for the VDR-EPIRB (VDR-EPIRB) floating on the sea, and the approximate location of the ship is determined. There is no connection to the wreck. Affected by the wind, waves and currents at sea, the VDR-EPIRB will drift away from the wreck with the current, and it is usually inconsistent with the position of the wreck.
