Officers discussing rescue approaches at the command's headquarters.

Earlier, the command was ordered by the Vietnam People's Navy’s headquarters to rescue a troubled fisherman about 200 nautical miles off Ly Son Island, Quang Ngai province.

Immediately, it sent ship 628 operating about 80 nautical miles away from the fishing boat to the scene. It took the patrol ship over 7 hours to reach to the troubled fisherman due to high waves and strong winds. The rescued fisherman then received first aid from ship 628's crew. He is now on the way back to Ly Son Island for further treatment.
