On the morning of March 9, Nhat Le Border Guard Station (Quang Tri Border Guard) said that it had just coordinated to successfully rescue a fishing boat that was overturned by waves when entering Nhat Le estuary.
According to initial information, at 6:15 am on the same day, fishing vessel QB 11064-TS owned and captained by Mr. Nguyen Tien Hoang (born 1973, residing in My Canh residential group, Dong Hoi ward, Quang Tri province) encountered an incident while entering the estuary.
The fishing boat is 13.25m long, engaged in drift net fishing, with 5 crew members on board. Previously, the boat departed at 15:53 on March 8 to go fishing.
When the ship moved into the Nhat Le estuary area in the early morning of March 9, due to large waves, the vehicle was overturned by waves and sunk in half.
