On August 5, the Coast Guard Region 4 Command said it had provided emergency medical assistance to a crew member who had a work accident at sea during the night.

Previously, at about 8:45 p.m. on August 4, while performing patrol and control duties in the Southwest sea, ship CSB 6003 of Squadron 401, Command of Coast Guard Region 4 received a request for emergency medical assistance from Mr. Dang Van Vung, captain of fishing boat KG 94693 TS (residing in Rach Gia ward, An Giang province), because on board was crew member Danh Van Bay (born in 1971, residing in Giong Rieng commune, An Giang province) who had a work accident while exploiting seafood at sea.

CSB 6003 ship quickly approached the fishing boat and brought the injured crew member to CSB 6003 ship for first aid.
