While fishing at sea, a fishing boat carrying 6 crew members sank at sea, 1 crew member is currently missing.

Specifically, at around 5:00 a.m. on March 2, fishing boat QB 33180-TS of Mr. Nguyen Thanh Van (born in 1963, residing in Canh Duong commune, Quang Trach district) captained by Mr. Nguyen Hoang Van (born in 1989) sank at coordinates 17 degrees 52'N-106 degrees 55'E, about 26.5 nautical miles east of Gianh estuary.

At that time, there were 6 people on the ship including: Nguyen Hoang Van, Nguyen Ngoc Luong, Nguyen Dinh Ky, Nguyen Khac Cuong, Dong Duc Tai, Nguyen Duy Dung, all of whom were able to cling to life buoys and float at sea.
