Seven fishing boats and three basket boats sank on the Ca Ty River.

On the morning of October 27, due to the previous heavy rain combined with water flowing from upstream, an incident occurred on the Ca Ty River, passing through Phan Thiet Ward, Lam Dong Province. About seven fishing boats had their mooring lines broken and drifted freely, while three unattended baskets of bottles sank.

7 fishing boats drifted due to broken ropes

At around 7am, at the Tran Hung Dao bridge area (Phan Thiet ward), the strong current caused the fishing boats that were anchored to be unable to withstand the current, and their ropes broke, drifting downstream. People living along the river discovered it in time, informed the boat owners, and mobilized a boat to tow the boats to safety. However, three boat boats anchored near the foot of the bridge were submerged.

Near the foot of the bridge there were 3 baskets of bottles submerged.

The main cause was determined to be continuous heavy rain and strong water flow from upstream, increasing the flow speed. At about 10 am, the water was still flowing rapidly, fishermen continued to check and reinforce boats to limit damage.

Fishermen are checking and reinforcing their boats to limit damage.

Authorities advise fishermen not to anchor their boats mid-stream and to move their vessels to a safe place. People living along the river should limit travel and closely monitor weather developments, especially in the coming days of heavy rain and flooding.

Images recorded at the scene

Raising awareness, checking, reinforcing vehicles and preparing preventive measures are necessary to protect property and lives. Authorities also continue to monitor the situation, ready to support in case of incidents, ensuring the safety of people and vehicles on the river.
