The Standing Office of the Provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster
Prevention, Search and Rescue has just received information about large waves
sinking two fishing boats while operating at sea. All 6 workers on the stricken
fishing boat were rescued safely.
Accordingly, at

exploiting seafood in an area about 18 nautical miles southeast of Phan Thiet
seaport (coordinates 10037''N - 108009''E). The ship has a capacity of 24 CV,
including 6 workers, captained by Mr. Tran Ngoc Cua (born in 1981, Q6, Binh
Hung ward, Phan Thiet city). 6 workers were rescued safely by a fishing boat operating
nearby, and the workers are in stable health. The captain of the boat BTh 85627
TS and his family are renting a vehicle to salvage the sunken fishing boat and
tow it ashore for repair.
At the same time,
the fishing boat BTh 99918 TS, anchored at Ke Ga beach, Tan Thanh commune, Ham
Thuan Nam district (with no crew on board), was leaking leading to sink. The
boat has a capacity of 250 CV, owned by Mr. Tran Van Sang (born in 1988, Tien
Thanh commune, Phan Thiet city). Immediately after the incident, officers and
soldiers of Tan Thanh Border Guard station and local fishermen promptly helped
salvage the sunken fishing boat. At 3:30 p.m. the same day, the fishing boat
BTh 99918 TS was salvaged and pulled ashore.
