At a press conference on November 9, the Vietnam Maritime Administration said it has directed units to conduct an extensive search of the coastal areas between Binh Thuan and Ba Ria Vung Tau.

Nguyen Nhat, Vietnam Maritime Administration Head operating under the assumption that the missing sailors may still be alive, has marshaled an all out effort from Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan and Vung Tau to find them.
In another waterway accident, a boat on the reservoir lake of Dong Nai 4 Hydropower Plant in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong’s Bao Loc district sank on the evening of November 8.
The six people on board included five staff of local forestry firm Loc Bac State Operating Company, who were escorting a man they caught illegally cutting down trees to the local authorities.
Three company employees were able to swim back to shore. The other two disappeared along with the logger. The body of one company staff was found and the search for the others continues.
