Previously, on August 14, two fishermen, Pham Tan Thanh and Nguyen Kinh, went on fishing boat KH 93159 TS from Nha Trang City (did not report departure when departing) to transport Korean repairmen to a Korean cargo ship for repairs (cannot remember the location and name of the Korean ship).

On the way back to shore, due to bad weather, at 8:00 a.m. on August 18, the ship sank 68 nautical miles south of Tri Ton Island. The two fishermen brought food onto a small coconut boat and drifted at sea. When they saw Tri Ton Island, the two fishermen rowed towards the island and reached the beach at noon on August 22.

The Chinese Coast Guard then handed over the two fishermen to Vietnamese authorities. Upon receiving the distressed fishermen, officers and soldiers of Ship 952 checked their health, provided medical care, and encouraged them. Currently, the two fishermen are mentally stable and in good health.

It is expected that on the morning of August 25, Ship 952 will dock in Da Nang and Naval Region 3 will hand over the two fishermen to the Border Guard and local authorities according to regulations.
