At 9:45 AM on June 11, the Quang Nam Border Guard deployed vessel BP-43.9801 and seven officers from the Border Guard’s 2nd Fleet from Tam Hiep Port in Nui Thanh District to assist in the rescue of the distressed fishing boat.

Earlier that morning, the vessel QNa 92954-TS with two crew members onboard had suffered engine failure roughly 40 nautical miles from An Hoa Cape. While another nearby fishing boat attempted to tow the vessel, strong winds at level 6 and rough seas made the effort extremely difficult.

Upon receiving the alert, the Provincial Border Guard Command instructed the Ky Ha Port Border Station to maintain communication with the boat’s owner while coordinating the rescue operation. The rescue ship is expected to reach the stranded vessel around 1:00 PM.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, as of 7:00 AM on June 11, the center of tropical storm No. 1 was located east of the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago at 16.1°N, 113.7°E. Maximum winds near the center reached level 8 (62–74 km/h), with gusts up to level 10. The storm was moving west-northwest at 5–10 km/h.

Throughout June 11, northern areas of the East Sea, including the Hoang Sa region, were expected to experience stormy conditions. Other affected regions include the Gulf of Tonkin, central and southern East Sea, and coastal areas from Quang Tri to Ca Mau, Ca Mau to Kien Giang, and the Gulf of Thailand - all facing heavy rain, thunderstorms, and dangerous squalls.

In Quang Nam Province, forecasts from June 11 to June 13 warned of heavy rainfall, with a high risk of flash floods, landslides in mountainous areas, and flooding in low-lying and densely populated regions.
