The Sea-Noble: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On the night of November 1, 2025, a dramatic maritime incident unfolded off the coast of Vung Tau, where two Vietnamese fishing boats sank after colliding with the cargo vessel 'Sea Noble', which was making its way from Ho Chi Minh City to Hai Phong, approximately 15 kilometers offshore. The fishing vessels had temporarily halted to fix a malfunctioning throttle line when the unfortunate collision occurred. Instantly, one of the fishing boats went under, followed shortly by the second vessel. In a harrowing escape, all 11 crew members from the fishing boats were forced to leap into the sea, desperately clinging to life buoys as they floated in the water. Thankfully, nearby fishing boats quickly spotted the stranded fishermen and launched a rescue operation. These brave rescuers promptly transferred the fishermen to safety, bringing them to the care of the Border Guard Squadron 2 of the Ho Chi Minh City Border Guard Command. In a swift response to the distress call, a patrol ship along with six officers was dispatched from Cua Lap estuary, reaching the scene to assess the situation and aid the victims. As of November 3, all 11 fishermen had been safely returned to shore. However, one individual reported facial injuries and chest pain and received immediate medical attention. The remaining crew members were also given food and supplies to ensure their well-being during the ordeal. Meanwhile, the 'Sea Noble' has been anchored off the Vung Tau coast at the coordinates 10° 22' N 107° 02' E, awaiting investigations from the appropriate authorities to understand the circumstances surrounding this alarming incident.
