Vessel QB 988.45TS owned by Nguyen Thanh Dam left the mainland for fishing on June 23 with five people on board.
After being informed of storm Mun, the boat which was operating in the Gulf of Tokin, moved in the direction of China’s Hainan Island to look for a shelter.
On July 2, the boat owner called the mainland to report that they were sheltering near Hainan Island. Since then, their fishermen’s family and local authorities have not been able to contact the fishermen.
