Ship 467 tows the distressed fishing vessel to Phu Quy special zone (Lam Dong province).

Amid rough seas with level 5 to 6 Southwestern winds and waves measuring three to four meters high, upon receiving the distress signal at 18:00 on September 7, Ship 467 was urgently deployed for the rescue mission.

By 23:30 on the same day, the rescue ship approached the distressed vessel, quickly deployed towing lines, and towed it ashore.

After nearly 30 hours of battling high waves and strong winds, Ship 467 safely brought the fishermen to Phu Quy special zone and handed them over to local authorities in accordance with regulations.
