A ship dumping garbage into Lam River?
A clip posted on social media by a local resident shows an excavator on a steel ship scooping up trash and dumping it into the middle of the Lam River.
According to a clip posted by people on social networks, on the afternoon of October 4, 2025, on the Lam River flowing through Truong Vinh ward (Nghe An province), a ship with the registration number NA-2662 dumped garbage straight into the river.
According to the content of the clip, which is more than 1 minute long, recorded by local people, there is an excavator on the ship's deck, continuously scooping up large buckets of trash and dropping them into the water. Although people standing on the shore shouted and asked to stop, the excavator operator continued to do this. Some of the trash buckets can clearly be seen as household trash and waste materials, floating in the muddy water that is rising due to the impact of rain and floods.
A resident of Truong Vinh ward said: "We saw the ship moving slowly in the middle of the stream, then suddenly the excavator on the ship dropped the trash."
Many opinions suggest that local authorities and functional agencies need to quickly verify this incident.
According to the reporter's investigation, this ship of Nhat Thanh Trading Company Limited, in recent days has been responsible for handling garbage at the wharf area of Ben Thuy Petroleum Depot. After the storm, this area was clogged with a large amount of garbage, affecting the reception of ships and the flow of water.
Currently, Truong Vinh Ward Police have also received information about the incident and are verifying and clarifying.
Nghe An Newspaper will continue to update on this incident.
