| There are currently six crew members on board. According to the crew, there are only two solutions: wait for higher tide to move the ship; if the tide continues to recede, they must contact rescue services to tow the ship out, or organize the digging of the seabed. Photo: Quang An |

| Residents living along the Hung Hoa dike said the main reason the ship ran aground was that the water depth in the area was only about 1 meter, with mud underneath. When the huge ship entered, its weight was so great that the bottom of the ship was submerged in mud, making it impossible to move. Photo: Quang An |
