While operating in waters about 48 nautical miles southeast of Ly Son island (Quang Ngai province), the fishing boat’s gearbox and main engine were broken, causing the boat with 2 crew members on board to drift into stormy weather.

Upon receiving the news, the Navy Region 3 Command dispatched Ship 366 on a rescue mission. From the early morning to 7 pm, the naval Ship 366 was able to contact the fishing boat and towed it ashore.
