After receiving the fishermen, the command provided health check-up and accommodation for them. The unit handed over the fishermen to the Philippine Embassy in Hanoi in conformity with Vietnam law and international practice.

Earlier, on December 24th, 2016, the foreign troubled fishermen were rescued by Vietnamese trawler PY 95021TS, captained by Nguyen Thai Hung from Phu Yen province. The trawler handed them over to the command on January 9.
