Built in 1994 on Ca Mau shoal, 67 nautical miles from the mainland, DK1/10 Platform is a milestone affirming the inviolable sovereignty of the southern continental shelf of the Fatherland.

Overcoming many difficulties, the soldiers of DK1/10 Platform still continue the tradition of "As long as there are people, there will be platforms", like indomitable fortresses in the middle of the ocean, contributing to maintaining sovereignty, while being a solid support for thousands of fishermen on the southern continental shelf.
