At around 11:00 a.m. on July 20, in the waters of Thanh Lan commune, Co To district (Quang Ninh), the ocean-controlled fishing boat TH-92083TS - owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Thang (born in 1981) - encountered an accident.
At this time, there were 7 people on the ship with the same permanent residence in Quang Nam commune, Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa province.
Immediately after receiving the news, Thanh Lan Border Guard Station (Quang Ninh Provincial Border Guard) dispatched 1 boat, 5 officers and soldiers to coordinate with 3 fishermen's boats in the area to organize a rescue.
After struggling with the water waves, the rescue boat team reached the location of the fishing boat in distress and successfully rescued 7 fishermen to safety.
The initial cause was determined because while the ship was anchored in the area, it encountered a storm, the anchor drifted and hit the rocks, causing the vehicle to break and the ship to sink. Damage was estimated at about 1 billion VND, with no loss of life.
Currently, Thanh Lan Border Guard Station and fishermen are monitoring weather developments to find ways to handle sunken ships at sea.
