Accordingly, at 1:00 p.m. on July 5, the 4-pole boat of fisherman Bui Tu in Quynh Nghia commune, Quynh Luu district, with registration number NA 92555TS, was anchored at the port in Quynh Nghia commune and suddenly caught fire.

After discovering the incident, the fishermen on the boat called nearby locals to help put out the fire and save the boat. However, the fire was so large that it caught on the oil tank and burned fiercely.

The smoke was so thick that rescue efforts were unsuccessful. The equipment on board was flammable, so after only 2 hours, the entire hull and property were burned. The fishermen were forced to move their boat away to avoid spreading the fire to neighboring boats.

The initial cause may have been an electrical short circuit. The burnt ship is known to be worth nearly 7 billion VND. It has been in operation for nearly 5 years./.
