The ship was running when it suddenly crashed into a reef, about 1km from the mainland in Cong Hoa village, Quynh Long commune. The strong impact caused the wooden layer under the ship's hull to break, water flooded into the ship's hold, and the ship lay horizontally on the reef.

When the ship hit a reef, some people from Quynh Long commune discovered the incident and used a basket boat to swim out, saving the lives of two fishermen on board.

As of 9:00 a.m. on February 26, fishing boat NA - 95102 - TS was still at the same location due to too many reefs. It is known that NA - 95102 - TS was jointly invested by Mr. Pham Van Cuong and 6 friends with a total cost of nearly 1 billion VND, each offshore trip usually has 16 fishermen participating in catching seafood.

This is the first voyage of the year for this ship.
