Two fishing boats sank, three fishermen missing

Quang Binh province's border guards and other forces are searching for three missing fishermen after two fishing boats sank at sea.

On January 26, a logistics fishing boat captained by Mr. Pham Ngoc Lam, 50 years old, and three crew members from Quang Trach, Nguyen Thanh Tung, 50 years old, Nguyen Xuan Huong, 50 years old, and Mr. Dao Van Thuan, 55 years old, sank more than 100 km from Nhat Le estuary.

The fishing boat captained by Mr. Tran Van Thanh, from Phu Vang district, Thua Thien Hue, rescued Mr. Tung and Huong. Fishermen Dao Van Thuan and Pham Ngoc Lam are currently missing.

On the same day, a fishing boat captained by Dao Xuan Nhat, 27, from Dong Hoi City, with six crew members sank about 100 km from Nhat Le estuary and 24 km from Cua Viet estuary. Six people were rescued by a nearby fishing boat. Fisherman Dao Van Ba, 25, from Dong Hoi City, is missing.

The Quang Binh Provincial Border Guard used the voyage monitoring system to call on fishing vessels operating near the area where the ship lost contact to search; at the same time, it notified the Naval Region 3 Command, Coast Guard Region 2 Command, Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center Region 2 and 10 Quang Binh fishing vessels to the area for support.

Due to the strengthening cold air, the Gulf of Tonkin, the sea area from Quang Tri to Phu Yen , the central and southern East Sea will have strong northeast winds of level 5-6, waves of 1.5-3 m high, and rough seas. The meteorological agency warns that all ships operating in the above sea area are at high risk of being affected by strong winds and big waves.
