Troubled fishermen rescued
PANO – On December 20, Ship SAR412 of the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center (Vietnam MRCC) took eight fishermen on troubled trawler DNa-90364TS ashore safely.
The fishing boat with Le Minh Duc from Nai Hien Dong ward, Da Nang City’s Son Tra district at the helm went adrift due to engine failure while fishing at sea. Also, whirlwinds and high waves flooded its engine compartment.
Having received the mayday signal, the Vietnam MRCC sent Ship SAR-412 in Da Nang to approach the troubled trawler, took the exhausted fishermen ashore for medical care and towed the troubled trawler to Da Nang port.
