Truong Sa troops help fishermen in distress at sea

Five fishermen have been brought to the mainland in Cam Ranh city, Khanh Hoa province by officers of the Naval Region 4 of the Vietnam's People Navy on February 14.

Previously, on January 30, while conducting fishing activities in the waters of Sinh Ton Island (Sin Cowe), a trawler coded PY 92396 TS went adrift due to engine failure about 1.5 nautical miles from Discovery Great Reef.

Receiving the information, officers, soldiers and vehicles on Discovery Greet Reef rushed to the scene and brought all five crew-members ashore safely at 13:40 on the same day.

Reportedly, the trawler was captained by Nguyen Duc Toan, born in 1970 in ward 6, Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen province.
