Dong Thap Border Guards Rescue Four from Sinking Vessel

(DTO) The Dong Thap Border Guard Command reported that at 9 a.m. on November 10, an inland waterway vessel registered as SG-8786 encountered rough seas near buoy No. 10 off Tan Phu Dong Commune, Dong Thap Province. The vessel was traveling from Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, to Cua Tieu for repairs when large waves damaged its hull, causing water to seep into the vessel.

At the time of the incident, the vessel was carrying four crew members, with Nguyen Huu Nhan, born in 1993, serving as captain. 

Upon receiving the report, the Cua Tieu Border Guard Post and Tan Thanh Border Guard Station, under the Dong Thap Border Guard Command, coordinated with fishing boats operating nearby to promptly launch a rescue operation. 

Officers of the Tan Thanh Border Guard Station collect information from the crew members following the sinking. 

By around 10:30 a.m. the same day, all four crew members, Nguyen Huu Nhan, Mai Tuan Dat, Le Xuan Dao and Vo Tuan Anh, had been safely rescued and brought to the Cua Tieu Border Guard Post for medical attention and health checks. All four are now in stable condition.
