Fisherman Nguyen Minh Yen taken to Phu Quoc Island

Earlier on August 29, Ship 416, which was carrying out the mission of managing the designated waters, received an order from higher level to take an ill fisherman ashore for treatment. 

At 7:00p.m. the same day, the ship approached trawler QNg 95898 TS, which was operating 120 nautical miles east of Phu Quy island, to take ill fisherman Nguyen Minh Yen to the island for emergency aid. 

Fisherman Nguyen Minh Yen was born in 1969 in Binh Chanh commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai province. He worked on squid-fishing trawler QNg 95898 TS with 41 fishermen on board and Bui Tu (from the same commune) at the whelm.
