Cargo ship groundings off Vietnam coast
Overview
On November 9 and 10, 2026, two separate cargo vessels ran aground off the coast of Vietnam during periods of severe weather.
The VTA NEPTUNE, a Vietnamese bulk carrier, ran aground near the Chan May maritime area in Thua Thien Hue province on the evening of November 9. The vessel is carrying approximately 51.82 tons of diesel oil and 211.81 tons of fuel oil. It is currently listing to the left by 2 degrees, and authorities have noted that strong winds and gusts have made salvage operations unsafe.
On the morning of November 10, the Panama-flagged TONG CHENG 301 ran aground near the Sa Huynh coast in Quang Ngai province. The ship was carrying approximately 81 tons of oil, including 26 tons of diesel and 55 tons of fuel oil. Officials suggest the vessel may have been pushed ashore by heavy waves. All 14 crew members are reported safe, and while no oil spill has been detected, rescue efforts are being complicated by waves reaching 3 to 5 meters.
