On the morning of January 14, at La Gi port, La Gi town, Binh Thuan province, two fishing boats sank.
Fishing boat BTh 88311TS, 45Cv capacity, 11.5m long, returned to shore after a fishing trip at sea on the morning of January 14. When the boat reached La Gi port, it was sunk by large waves. The 4 workers on the fishing boat swam safely to shore.
About 1 hour later, the fishing boat BTh 80643TS with a capacity of 24Cv came ashore and was also sunk by large waves at the entrance of La Gi port. The 3 workers on board swam safely to shore.
Currently, the La Gi port entrance is covered with sand, making it difficult for ships to enter and exit when there are big waves. Recently, fishing boats have repeatedly sunk when entering this port entrance.
