EQ Logis also informed that the three tanks above do not contain any gas and are empty, so they do not affect the environment.
Receiving the information, Quang Ngai provincial authorities are verifying the authenticity and waiting for the company to carry out legal procedures to confirm ownership of these tanks.

Tanks with danger signs
On November 24, soldiers from Binh Thanh Border Guard Station (Quang Ngai Border Guard Command) stationed in Binh Son district were patrolling the sea area through Le Thuy village, Binh Tri commune, Binh Son district and together with local people discovered three white, cylindrical metal tanks, measuring 6 x 2.5m, drifting ashore in Le Thuy village.
On the surface, these three tanks are quite new, with the name and logo of a famous container and liquid tank manufacturing company in China printed on the tank body; along with the names of companies that trade and rent these tanks.
The three tanks that washed ashore were secured to a large, sturdy steel frame for protection. Each tank had a pump valve, drain pipe, and pressure gauge attached to it.
At the time of discovery, each tank had a lead seal and a danger warning sign.
Binh Thanh Border Guard Station mobilized local people to use anchor ropes to secure these tanks to the dike, to prevent them from being washed away by large waves at sea, endangering constructions and operating ships.
On the morning of November 27, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Giang, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province, requested relevant units to coordinate to find a solution, avoid safety risks, and urgently find the owner, as well as the origin of the three tanks above.
