(Baothanhhoa.vn) - Around dawn on August 26, the Thanh Thanh Dat 99 transport ship and 19 crew members were swept away by large waves and ran aground in the waters of Tien Trang commune. Fortunately, all crew members are safe, and the authorities are coordinating to support and ensure the safety of the vehicle.

At around 11:30 p.m. on August 25, while on patrol, the Sam Son Border Guard Station in coordination with local authorities discovered a shipping vessel drifting in the Tien Trang Commune area (former Quang Xuong District), about 2 nautical miles from shore. At the time of discovery, the vessel did not turn on its signal lights, did not drop anchor, and strong winds and waves caused the vessel to drift onto a shallow beach.

The ship ran aground in Binh village, Tien Trang commune, about 70-100m from shore.

At 1:30 a.m. on August 26, the ship was washed ashore by waves in Binh village, Tien Trang commune, about 70-100 meters from shore. Upon inspection, it was determined that this was the Thanh Thanh Dat 99 transport ship, 151 meters long, 26 meters wide, with 19 crew members, captained by Hoang Van Hop (from Nghe An ).

According to initial information, on the afternoon of August 25, the ship left Tinh Long port ( Nam Dinh ) to transport goods to Nghi Son port. However, when entering the anchorage area, due to the influence of large waves and strong winds, the ship could not drop anchor and drifted onto the shoal.

Fortunately, all 19 crew members were safe. The captain proactively contacted Nghi Son Port Authority for assistance in bringing the ship ashore.

Sam Son Border Guard Station is monitoring the situation and coordinating with functional forces to deploy plans to ensure safety for people and vehicles.
