The four sailors were injured while working on the Marshall Islands-flagged White Shark vessel when it was 154 nautical miles away from Nha Trang city.

After receiving the ship’s captain's urgent call requesting for assistance, the MRCC of Region 4 immediately contacted the ship to provide first aid guidance for the wounded. However, as the victims’ condition worsened, the centre sent vessel SAR27-01 from Nha Trang port to promptly carry them to the city.

Since September 2018, the MRCC of Region 4 has rescued eight sailors aboard four foreign vessels who were injured while travelling through the international shipping line./.
