Distressed fisherman saved at sea

A doctor on Ship SAR 412 treating the patient

Previously, on May 3, fisherman Nguyen Thanh Sang, a crew-member of trawler QNg 98217 TS (captained by Nguyen Van Cu from Pho An commune, Duc Pho district, Quang Ngai province), experienced pain in his stomach and dyspnea. The boat was fishing in the Hoang Sa (Paracel) waters at the time.

After receiving the information, the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center immediately sent Ship SAR 412 for a rescue mission.

At 1:36am on May 5, the rescue ship reached the trawler, provided first aid for the distressed fisherman and then took the fisherman to shore safely.
