Earlier this week, the vessel of the Naval Region 4 High Command was patrolling when it received an order to search for and assist a fishing boat with four crew members that went adrift due to engine failure.
Braving strong winds of a tropical depression, the vessel managed to access and tow the fishing boat to Da Tay Island.
The fishing boat from central Khanh Hoa province encountered the problem but failed to fix it. The captain sent signals calling for help from authorities and other fishing boats working in the Truong Sa waters of Vietnam.
