On March 28, 2017, at midnight the Vietnamese flagged cargo m/v "Hải Thành 26", 1599 gt (IMO: 9611096), sank following a collision in the Vung Tau Sea, 44 nautical miles east of Vung Tau City in southern coastal Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province. The MRCC immediately asked the "Petrolimex 14" which was sailing some five nautical miles near the accident site, to proceed to the area. At the same time, the centre also informed the two other vessels "SAR 413" and "SAR 272"to support the SAR operation. The "Petrolimex 14" found a breeches-buoy with two crew members of the sunken ship on board. Both were rescued. One of them told that the other crew members of the "Hải Thành 26" had drifted away on another breeches-buoy. The "Petrolimex 14" and two vessels continued their search around until they found another breaches-buoy at about 8.10 a.m., but there was no one on board. The "Hải Thành 26" sank at midnight after colliding with a yet unidentifid ship. The ship with 11 crewmen and clinker on board was sailing from northern Hai Phong City to southern Can Tho City.
