Distressed fishermen saved at sea
PANO - Ship SAR 412 of the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center Region II (Da Nang MRCC) successfully saved a troubled trawler with 8 crew-members aboard and took it ashore on September 8.
Earlier, trawlerĐNa 90397 TS, captained by Pham Thanh (from An Hai Bac Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang city), went adrift due to its rotating shaft broken while fishing about 130 nautical miles off Da Nang coast.
After receiving the mayday signal, the center sent ship SAR 412 for a rescue mission.
After eight hours searching, the ship reached the troubled trawler, gave crew-members first aid and took them ashore.
