Quickly rescue 7 fishermen in distress due to sinking fishing boat

On December 10, the Coast Guard Region 1 Command said that the unit is coordinating with other forces to conduct rescue and search for fishermen of fishing boat NA-98687-TS, captained by Mr. Ho Sy Hung (34 years old, residing in Tan Mai ward, Nghe An), with 8 fishermen on board, which sank in the waters of Ha Tinh.

According to initial information, at about 1:30 p.m. on December 9, the family of a fisherman on fishing boat NA-98687-TS reported that the boat sank while fishing in the sea about 50 nautical miles east-northeast of Vung Ang port ( Ha Tinh ).

Immediately after receiving the information, the Command of Coast Guard Region 1 dispatched Coast Guard vessel 3005 (Squadron 102), which was on patrol in the Vung Ang sea area, to quickly approach the scene; coordinating with the Border Guard of Nghe An , the Border Guard of Ha Tinh, and fishing vessels operating near the area to participate in the search. At the scene, due to strong waves and limited visibility, the search operation faced many difficulties.

However, the forces continued to search in the area where the crew members were suspected to be drifting. At about 4:45 p.m. on December 9, fishing boat NA-93986-TS, captained by Nguyen Thai Son, was fishing near the area where fishing boat NA-98687-TS had an accident and rescued 7 fishermen.

The Command of Coast Guard Region 1, along with other functional forces and local fishermen, are continuing to expand the search area for the remaining fisherman.
