Troubled trawler rescued at sea
PANO – Ship CSB 1011 under Flotilla 102 of the Coast Guard Region 1 Command on December 18 successfully towed drifting trawler NĐ92956TS with six fishermen on board to Hon La port (Quang Binh province).
Earlier, the trawler, captained by Nguyen Xuan Hung from Hai Trieu commune, Hai Hau district, Nam Dinh province, went adrift due to engine failure while fishing about 35 nautical miles East of Hon La island (QuangBinh province).
After receiving the mayday signal, the command on December 17 sent on-duty ship CSB 1011 to the scene for a rescue mission.
The same day, the ship approached the troubled trawler, gave first aid to the fishermen and took them ashore.
