(Baonghean.vn) -On the morning of November 21, 2013, while on the way to fishing, the boat of Mr. Truong Nhu Hong, born in 1976, in Hai Trung block, Nghi Hai ward, Cua Lo town, was hit by waves and had its bow broken. Upon receiving the news, the Coast Guard Squadron 2 of Nghe An mobilized forces to promptly rescue 4 crew members and tow the damaged boat safely to shore.

The ship in distress, numbered NA 0263TS, owned by Mr. Truong Nhu Hong, had 4 crew members on board, all from Nghi Hai Ward, Cua Lo Town, on its way to fish, 2 nautical miles east of Ngu Island, when it encountered bad weather, big waves and strong winds that broke the bow of the ship.
