Authorities in the central city of Da Nang and the Bac My Anshipbuilding co-operative have completed detailed plans to salvage thefishing boat DNa 90152 which was rammed and sunk by a Chinese ship whileundertaking its regular operations in its traditional Hoang Sa fishinggrounds.
The boat DNa 90152 was towed by the Vietnam FisheriesSurveillance Force ship into Da Nang port, about 2 nautical miles fromthe mainland.
Under the plan, a crane barge will be used tolift the ship out of the water, said Nguyen Van Si, head of theco-operative. Authorities will verify all losses from the ship once itis safely retrieved.
On May 26, the Chinese ship 11209 rammedthe DNa 90152, from Da Nang city, near a Chinese oil rig illegallystanding in Vietnam’s waters. The Vietnamese trawler had been on aregular fishing voyage when it was deliberately encircled by Chinesefishing vessels of China and attacked by China’s ship 11209.
All the 10 fishermen on board were rescued by other Vietnamese trawlers.
The incident occurred at 4pm at a site 17 nautical miles from whereChina’s Haiyang Shiyou-981 oil rig was illegally standing. The locationis the traditional fishing grounds of Vietnamese fishermen in Vietnam’sexclusive economic zone and continental shelf.
