At about 7am on March 23, Ngo Tan Loc, 39, suffered multiple injuries after falling from a high place on a boat operating in the waters of Hoang Sa (Paracels) archipelago.

As the man’s condition was serious, the captain sent a request for emergency rescue to the centre.

After receiving the request, the centre dispatched ship SAR 412 with doctors on board to the boat's location. 

It took one day and a half for the SAR 412 to reach the boat and bring the injured fisherman to the mainland.
