Naval troops save fishermen at sea
PANO - Troops of the DK1/17 Platform of Naval Region 2 provided timely first aid to save a fisherman at sea on May 2.
Earlier, at 7:05 a.m. the same day, the platform’s personnel received a mayday from Fishing Ship BTh 96895-TS operating close by.
Its crew-member Duong Van Nghiem suffered from an occupational accident due to the belt of the winch machine. The belt stamped 3 fingers of his right hand (thumb, middle finger and ring finger), and caused a lot of bleeding.
After receiving the patient, the platform’s personnel provided first aid and gave medicine to him. They also guided the patient about further treatment.
By 9:10 a.m. the same day, the patient got stable and returned to his ship.
