Four fishermen from Mui Ne survived after their fishing vessel, BTH 80712 TS, sank while operating near the Su Tu Trang oil field. The vessel, captained by 44-year-old Nguyen Van Hai, departed for fishing on October 19.

The boat reportedly sank due to a hole in its hull. The four crew members managed to survive by using a small basket boat (thuyen thung) that they had brought on board.

On the night of October 21, the vessel was spotted partially submerged by the Hai Duong 79 transport ship. The four fishermen were subsequently rescued by a fishing vessel from Soc Trang and were expected to arrive at Tran De port on October 23. Local border guard authorities are coordinating the formal reception of the survivors.
