At 11 am on October 26, a search and rescue ship escorted the fishing boat QNg 66478 TS and its nine crew to Dung Quat 1 Port in the central province of Quang Ngai .

Officials from Quang Ngai provincial administration, Ly Son district and the crew’s relatives and friends gathered at the port to welcome them home.

After their arrival, Cao Khoa, the Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee met the fishermen and asked the local authorities to help them repair their ship so they can resume fishing.
