Sea-Noble

11 Vietnamese fishermen were rescued on the night of Nov 1, 2025, after their two fishing boats collided with the 'Sea Noble', en route from Ho Chi Minh to Hai Phong, about 15 kilometers off the coast of Vung Tau. The fishing boats had stopped to repair a broken throttle line. One of the boats sank immediately, while the other went down shortly after the collision. All 11 crew members had to jump into the sea, clinging to life buoys as they drifted. Nearby fishing vessels discovered and rescued the fishermen before handing them over to the Border Guard Squadron 2 under the Ho Chi Minh City Border Guard Command. A patrol ship and six officers had been dispatched from the Cua Lap estuary immediately after receiving the distress report. They arrived at the site to verify the incident and assist the castaways. All were brought ashore safely during the night. One crew member sustained facial injuries and chest pain and was given immediate medical care. The others were provided with food and supplies. The 'Sea Noble' dropped anchor off the Vũng Tàu coast in pos. 10° 22' N 107° 02' E, pending investigations by the relevant authorities, where it remaied stationary as of Nov 3.
