The ship, named GLORY, while anchoring at a mooring area in Lach Huyen Port, Hai Phong's Cat Hai District at 00:30 a.m., was hit by big waves and strong winds, causing it to drift aground on a sand embankment.

Immediately after receiving the SOS signal, the port authority deployed one canoe, two ships and personnel to the vessel's location for rescue operation. By 3:30 a.m. on the same day, the rescue vehicles reached the scene. However, due to high waves and strong winds, the operation encountered numerous difficulties.

After several hours under harsh weather conditions, by 6:00 a.m. on the same day, the rescue team succeeded and safely brought ashore the crew members, who later received medical care and recovered.
