Through the images sent back, relatives and the Ly Son special zone authorities confirmed that the rescued person was Mr. Phan Duy Quang, one of three people missing in this sea area on the afternoon of November 6. Currently, communication with the Hainan 39 ship is still facing many difficulties due to unstable signals. The special zone authorities are coordinating to determine the ship's coordinates to support the search for the remaining two people.

As reported by the Vietnam Law Newspaper , at around 3:00 p.m. on November 6, while storm No. 13 (Kalmaegi storm) was about to make landfall, Mr. DQC, (44 years old, residing in Tay An Vinh village) jumped into the sea at Ly Son wharf area due to a family conflict. Seeing this, Mr. LVS, (37 years old, residing in Tay An Hai village) and Mr. Phan Duy Quang used a basket boat to rescue him but were swept away by the strong waves.

Quang Ngai Border Guard ships were also mobilized to assist in the search.
