Donghai Jiu 113 is a Chinese East China Sea Rescue Bureau search-and-rescue vessel built by Guangzhou Huangpu Shipbuilding in 2009. Sources describe the roughly 99-meter ship as a long-range rescue, towing, salvage, firefighting, and pollution-response platform with a helicopter deck, 10,000- to 15,000-nautical-mile reported range, and more than 100 tonnes of towing force; official Chinese and Taiwanese reporting later placed it in the June 2026 east-of-Taiwan maritime law-enforcement operation.
China Daily named Donghai Jiu 113 among Ministry of Transport vessels in the June 6-10, 2026 operation east of Taiwan; Taiwan's Coast Guard Administration separately listed the ship among Chinese government vessels it monitored east of Pengjiayu on June 9.
Donghai Jiu 113 sits in the large-rescue-ship end of the catalog: a ship sized for long-range towing and salvage rather than a local harbor response craft.
Search and rescue, towing, salvage, firefighting, oil-pollution response, and maritime safety support.
10,000-15,000 nautical miles reported across cited sources and 30 days at sea.
98.97 m overall length, 15.2 m beam, 6.0 m maximum full-load draught, and 4,895.5 tonnes full-load displacement.
