Khanh Hoa: Two injured Filipino sailors brought ashore for treatment
Khanh Hoa (VNA) – Vietnam’s
maritime search and rescue forces have brought two injured Filipino sailors
on board a Panama’s vessel to the central province of Khanh Hoa for emergency treatment.
On November 8, the ship was navigating
through waters about 78 nautical miles southeast of Nha Trang when one sailor
suffered from a headache, bleeding profusely and was in a life-threatening
situation while another had difficulty walking.
The Energy Hope ship, which was en route from Singapore to the Republic of
Korea, asked for assistance to bring the sailors ashore for emergency
aid.
Upon receiving the information, the Vietnam
Martitime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) contacted the vessel
to give instructions on how to provide first aid for the victims.
The
centre dispatched a rescue ship and arranged a medical emergency team
in Nha Trang port to rescue the sailors. The victims were brought to the port at 10.30pm on the same day and then rushed to a hospital in Nha Trang city for
treatment./.
