Previously, the barge Thai Binh Duong 05, registration number SG 7442 belonging to Thai Binh Duong Shipping Services Co., Ltd., carried about 300 tons of column-shaped iron, towed by a tugboat with registration number SG 6177. On the tugboat were 3 crew members led by captain Tran Van Bup (born in 1982, residing in Long Huu Dong, Can Duoc, Long An ). The ship departed from Nha Trang port to Ho Chi Minh City to deliver the goods. At about 5:00 a.m. on August 8, while passing through the waters of Binh Thuan, about 4 nautical miles south of Mui Ne coast, it encountered an incident and stopped to fix it. After that, the barge was sunk by big waves and strong winds, with no human casualties.
