The accident scene. |
Earlier, the boat was anchored in An Thoi Bay, Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province. At about 5:30 am, it was suddenly hit by thunderstorms and large waves, which broke the anchor rope. The boat drifted ashore and ran aground. Faced with the risk of being overturned by the waves, the boat's owner contacted the Navy Region 5 Command for emergency rescue.
Officers and soldiers of Ship 470 approached and used a lifeline to pull boat KG 1725 TS. |
Receiving the information, at 1 pm, the Navy Region 5 Command sent Ship 470, Squadron 512, Brigade 127, and dozens of officers and soldiers to quickly deploy rescue activities.
After more than two hours, officers and soldiers of Naval Region 5 Command succeeded in getting the fishing boat out of the stranded area.
The Commander of Brigade 127 monitors and encourages the unit's officers and soldiers to perform their tasks. |
The boat, number KG 1725 TS, carried three fishermen on board. It is owned by Captain Lu Van Quan, who was born in 1989 and lives in Quarter 5, An Thoi Ward, Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang province.
In recent years, officers and soldiers of Navy Region 5 have promptly rescued many fishermen in distress. They also do a good job of public mobilization. They help the local people prevent coastal erosion, explosions, and forest fires. They inform about Vietnam's seas and islands and propagate against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU).
Officers and soldiers of the Navy Region 5 Command successfully rescued the ship KG 1725 TS from the stranded place. |
They effectively implement the program "Vietnam Navy as a fulcrum for fishermen to reach out to sea and cling to the sea" and the "Navy sponsors fishermen's children" program, thereby contributing to building a firm "battle of people's hearts" at sea.
