On December 10, Cam Ranh Border Station, Navy Region 4 Headquarters handed a fishing boat BD 99559 TS, which had a sea accident, over the owner.
 
Reportedly, the fishing boat BD 99559 TS owned by Ho Van Lo and captained by Nguyen Van Cuong departed for Spratly Islands for fishing on November 12. 
 
The boat carrying 16 crew had an accident at 15:35 on November 28 in Spratly Island waters, approximately 270 nautical miles off the east coast of Quy Nhon City.

Navy Ship 736 tows the boat ashore  from the Southwest Cay.
 
The Navy Ship 752 towed the boat to the Southwest Cay on December 2. However, the heavy engine breakdown could not be repaired on the island, so the boat was then towed by the Navy Ship 736 from the Southwest Cay to Ba Ngoi Port, Cam Ranh City on December 6-10 safely.
