The document cited press information about the ship Vinh Xanh 58 being designed higher than standard, but not having automatic distress signal equipment, and the monitoring agency did not promptly detect when the ship's GPS was disconnected.
At 2:05 p.m. on July 19, the ship lost GPS connection. The ship capsized more than 1 km from Tuan Chau wharf and 3 km from the mainland.
At the meeting on the afternoon of July 20, Colonel Hoang Van Thuyet, Political Commissar of the Quang Ninh Provincial Military Command, said that at 3:30 p.m. the unit received the first report of the accident, two hours after the incident occurred, and 10 minutes later, a rescue ship was deployed to the scene.
Dr. Pham Ha, CEO of Lux Group, said that when the GPS signal is lost, the captain has two ways to send a warning to the management agency: send a signal via walkie-talkie or press the AIS automatic identification system button next to the driver's seat.
If an unexpected incident occurs, the captain or crew will not be able to react in time because there is no automatic warning mechanism. This is a flaw in the design of cruise ships.
At the same time, ships in the bay do not have general guidelines or standards on how to deal with storms. When ships have left port, the weather changes suddenly, leaving no time to react, so regular news bulletins every 6 hours like Vietnam is doing is not enough, we need a real-time marine forecasting system (like the US's Web Windy), using coastal radar technology, wave buoys, satellite data, and artificial intelligence to simulate and warn in specific areas.
Information must be internationally standardized, easy to understand, and transmitted across multiple platforms - from mobile apps, VHF radios, to onboard displays…
Regarding the above issue, implementing the direction of Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh , the Government Office forwarded the above content to the Ministry of Construction to propose management solutions; report to the Prime Minister before August 15.
