Ship 796 towing the distressed trawler ashore 
Previously, at 7pm on February 10, the distressed trawler, numbered KG 90378, captained by Nguyen Van Ut from Vinh Thong ward, Rach Gia City, Kien Giang province, with five fishermen on board, was about to sink due to a short-circuit in the electric system while fishing at sea.

At 8:30 am, after receiving the mayday signal, Naval Region 5 quickly sent ship 796 to the scene to save distressed fishermen on the sinking trawler.

After more than 2 hours, the ship approached the distressed trawler and successfully took all fishermen ashore.
