Troubled trawler rescued at sea
PANO – Ship SAR 273 of the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center successfully towed troubled trawler HT 1638 TS with all crew-members on board ashore on April 4.
Previously, the trawler, captained by Tran Dinh Thanh from Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh province, went adrift due to engine failure.
After receiving the mayday signal, the center sent ship SAR 273 for a rescue mission.
The rescue vessel approached the fishing boat, gave first aid to crew-members and towed it ashore.
