After receiving the information, the unit sent a patrol boat with six troops, mobilized two additional trawlers and called on people fishing near the scene to take part in the rescue mission.

At 13:00 the same day, the distressed fishermen were safely taken ashore.

Currently, the Khanh Tien Border Post is still taking care of the fishermen.
