On the afternoon of June 17, when the ship was anchored in front of the creek mouth about 1km from the mainland to prepare for the offshore trip, the anchor was dragged (the anchor was not anchored to the ground) and encountered big waves and strong winds, causing it to drift onto the reef in the Muong beach area in the sea of Quynh Thuan commune, Quynh Luu district.
The strong crash caused holes in many places for the ship, water flooded into the hold and it "stuck" on the rocks.
Immediately after the accident, the ship owner mobilized his family, along with local people and fishermen from other fishing boats to come to the rescue, and at the same time contacted the People's Committee of Quynh Long commune and the Quynh Thuan Border Guard Station to have a rescue plan.
