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