Receiving the information, the Sa Ky Border Gate Border Post and local authorities asked QNg-97654TS’s owner to go to the scene to rescue the troubled fishermen.

After two hours of struggling with strong winds and high waves, the trawler found the fishermen, provided them with first aid and took them to the Co Luy Border Checkpoint.
