Earlier, a fishing ship numbered QNg 91131 TS with 10 men on board went adrift in strong winds and rough seas due to a sudden engine failure about 80 nautical miles Southeast of Ly Son Island.
After being informed of the case, the Naval Region 3 Command sent a ship to tow the troubled fishing ship to Ly Son Island safely. All fishermen then received health check-ups from the island's forces.
