Trawler HP-0208-TS towed ashore |
In detail, at 13:30 of January 8, the post received a mayday signal from trawler HP-0208-TS, captained by Nguyen Van Nang (36) from Doan Xa commune, Kien Thuy district, Hai Phong city, with two crewmembers: Pham Van Quang (53) from Ngu Loc commune, Hau Loc district, Thanh Hoa province and Tran Van Giap (40) from Dien Bich commune, Dien Chau district, Nghe An province.
The trawler went adrift due to engine failure in waters just off the coast of Thai Binh province.
Immediately, the post, in coordination with a Panama-registered ship, Hai Duong 06, operating near the scene, located and approached the troubled trawler, then rescued the crewmembers.
