On the afternoon of March 19, the leader of the People's Committee of Thach Lac commune informed Dan Viet reporter: "An unusual accident happened at noon of the same day, 3 fishing boats of local fishermen hit a herring school but were sunk by big waves on the way back to shore. Fortunately, all 6 fishermen on the boats were rescued."
According to information from the People's Committee of Thach Lac commune, the incident occurred at around 12:00 on March 19, when 3 24CV fishing boats of local fishermen were returning from a fishing trip.
Previously, at around 6am the same day, the fishing boats of Mr. Nguyen Van Canh, Nguyen Van Ngoc and Tran Dinh Xuan (each boat had 2 crew members) left the port, going to the sea about 3 nautical miles from shore to search for seafood.

After many hours of fishing, the fishermen discovered a large school of herring and immediately cast their nets over a large area. With smooth coordination, the boats achieved very encouraging results, when each boat harvested more than 1 ton of herring.
On the way back to shore, big waves, strong winds and the huge weight of fish caused all three boats to crash. All three boats capsized and sank, and the fishermen fell into the sea.
At this time, other fishing boats operating nearby promptly discovered and rescued all 6 crew members. Despite encountering bad weather and big waves, the rescue work was carried out quickly, ensuring the safety of all fishermen.

Speaking to Dan Viet reporter, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tung - Vice Chairman of Thach Lac Commune People's Committee said: "Due to the impact of big waves and strong winds, three fishing boats of fishermen were sunk. Fortunately, all fishermen were rescued. Local authorities mobilized rescue forces and means to bring one boat to shore.
However, due to bad weather conditions, two boats have not been salvaged yet. This incident caused great damage, with each sunken boat estimated to be worth around 100 million VND.
"The herring season is in full swing, and herring fishing in Ha Tinh has brought in a large source of income for fishermen. However, the dangers of natural disasters, especially big waves and strong winds, always pose a potential risk to fishing boats, threatening the lives and property of fishermen," added Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Thach Lac Commune.
