There are six fishermen working on vessel QNg 90499 from the central province of Quang Ngai. They reportedly had enough food and water for just three more days.

Vice Chairman of the province’s Binh Son District People’s Committee Nguyen Quang Trung said the local authority on Saturday contacted a fishing vessel working near the stranded vessel and asked it to help.

However, because of bad weather, the fishing vessel could only tow the other ship at a speed of about two to four nautical miles per hour. The High Command of Marine Police vessel will be able to complete the rescue more quickly.
