Accordingly, at about 5:10 a.m. the same day, the vehicle with license plate TV-9041-TS was operating at coordinates 09°52'430”N – 106°43'630”E when it suddenly sank due to bad weather, big waves and strong winds.

On board were two crew members: Lam Thanh D. (born in 1980, registered permanent residence in Duyen Hai ward, Vinh Long province) and Tran Van N. (born in 1997, registered permanent residence in Ky Lac commune, Ha Tinh province).
