On the morning of October 28, the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center said that the specialized ship SAR 631 successfully rescued a fisherman suffering from acute appendicitis while fishing in the sea more than 200 nautical miles from Quy Nhon ward.

Earlier, on the afternoon of October 27, the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center received a report from fishing vessel QNg 90459 TS regarding fisherman Nguyen Van C. (born in 1973, residing in Binh Son commune, Quang Ngai province) who was suffering from a high fever, severe abdominal pain, and difficulty breathing, requiring urgent rescue.

Recognizing the critical situation, the authorities dispatched SAR vessel 631 from Quy Nhon port to conduct the rescue operation.
