Troops from the Cu Lao Cham Border Guard Station in Quang Nam province successfully rescued a distressed trawler, numbered BĐ 94757, on December 11. |
Earlier, with 12 fishermen on board, the trawler, captained by Nguyen Van Bi from My Duc commune, Phu My district, Binh Dinh province, was about to sink after hitting Hon Mo in Cu Lao Cham (Cham Island), causing leakages in the hull and engine failure.
After receiving the mayday signal, the station mobilized a boat and 12 troops for the rescue mission.
The rescue boat approached and then instructed the troubled boat and its crewmembers to move to Bai Bim (Cham Island).
