On the morning of August 24, in the waters of Hoang Sa, Chinese Navy Coast Guard Ship 4110 handed over two fishermen in distress to Ship 952, Squadron 311, Brigade 161, Region 3 of the Vietnamese Navy.
Initial information, two fishermen Pham Tan Thanh and Nguyen Kinh (both residing in Nha Trang City) were on the fishing boat number KH 93159 TS from Nha Trang City (when departing without reporting departure) carrying a Korean repairman. Quoc sent a Korean cargo ship for repairs (can't remember the location and name of the Korean ship).
On the afternoon of August 18, on the way back to shore, due to bad weather, the ship sank at a location 68 nautical miles from the South of Tri Ton Island.
Two fishermen brought food onto a small coconut boat and drifted on the sea. When they saw Tri Ton Island, two fishermen rowed toward the island and reached the beach at noon on August 22.

It is expected that on the morning of August 25, Ship 952 will arrive at Da Nang port.
