Established for 7 years, the Self-Managed and Mutually Supported Boat Team at Sea in Nam Thinh Commune (Tien Hai) has attracted a large number of members to participate, actively helping each other in all activities at sea, improving the efficiency of seafood exploitation, contributing to protecting the sovereignty of the sacred sea of the Fatherland.

Officers and soldiers of Cua Lan Border Guard Station regularly coordinate and grasp information from the Self-Managed Boat Team to support each other at sea in Nam Thinh commune.

On June 17, ship owner Dang Van Giang, Quang Thinh village, Nam Thinh commune, and crew members on board encountered an accident but received timely support.

Mr. Giang shared: My boat unfortunately had an accident and was about to sink, but the members of the Nam Thinh Commune Self-Managed Boat Support Team rescued us in time and helped us escape. They were also very enthusiastic in helping my family salvage the boat, overcoming some of our economic difficulties and giving us peace of mind to go out to sea.

In 2022, the boat of Mr. Lam Van Linh, Quang Thinh village, Nam Thinh commune also had an accident that led to the ship sinking, 3 crew members fell into the sea, their body temperature dropped sharply, endangering their lives. Upon receiving the news, the Self-Managed Boat Support Team at Sea in Nam Thinh commune proactively contacted the crew members operating near Mr. Linh's boat to conduct rescue and relief. The medical soldiers of Cua Lan Border Guard Station were also present in time to provide first aid and bring the victims safely to shore.

Mr. Dang Van Pho, a crew member on Mr. Linh's ship, said: I am very grateful to the members of the Team and the officers and soldiers of the Provincial Border Guard who have always accompanied fishermen at sea and helped people in distress at sea.

The self-managed fleet of boats supporting each other at sea in Nam Thinh commune coordinates with functional forces to participate in the fight against smuggling at sea.

When it was first established in 2016, the Nam Thinh Commune Self-Managed Boat Team for Mutual Support at Sea faced many difficulties due to the small number of members, many old means of communication, not ensuring the quality of communication at sea; activities were not yet in order, so it did not attract many members to participate.

Fisherman Bui Xuan Cu, Captain of the Self-Managed Boat Team supporting each other at sea in Nam Thinh commune, shared: Faced with these difficulties, the core members of the Self-Managed Boat Team have proactively coordinated with officers and soldiers of Cua Lan Border Post and Cua Lan Border Control Station to organize training sessions and raise awareness for fishing boat owners and crew members about the benefits of participating in the Self-Managed Boat Team; mobilize resources to invest in rescue equipment. Thanks to good propaganda and mobilization work, we have so far recruited 50 members with 50 fishing boats of all types and capacities from 30CV - 400CV. From 2016 to present, the members have provided the authorities with 4 useful pieces of information on smuggling and illegal trading of drugs; supported the rescue of many fishermen in distress and fishing boats in trouble at sea; Actively coordinate with border guards and military forces to conduct drills on natural disaster prevention, control and search and rescue with good results. Every quarter and every month, the Team evaluates the results of its activities, commends and rewards crew members and ship owners who have made great contributions to the Team's activities, rescuing people in distress at sea.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Dang, Chief of Cua Lan Border Guard Station, commented: Not only helping each other develop the economy and support each other at sea, members of the Self-Managed Boat Team supporting each other at sea in Nam Thinh commune have provided a lot of useful information to help the Provincial Border Guard force do a good job of ensuring security and order in the localities in the coastal border area. This model has been actively contributing to the socio-economic development of the locality, protecting security and order in the sea of the Fatherland.
