At that time, the Thoi creek was silted up with sand, making it difficult to control the ship, causing it to run aground and capsize.

All seafood on board and machinery were flooded and damaged. Estimated damage was over 200 million VND.

After the ship tilted, the crew on board called the Quynh Thuan Border Guard Station and local authorities for support and assistance.
