Two Cargo Ships Run Aground off Central Vietnam, Carrying More Than 344 Tonnes of Fuel越南中部两艘货船接连搁浅，船上载有超344吨燃油

Two cargo ships ran aground off the coast of central Vietnam between 9 and 10 November. One was a bulk carrier of approximately 23,600 DWT that dragged anchor and grounded near Chan May Port. The other, a Panama-flagged cargo vessel, drifted ashore in waters off Sa Huynh, Quang Ngai Province.

The two vessels were carrying a combined total of approximately 344.6 tonnes of fuel. All crew members are safe, and no fuel spill has been publicly reported so far.

11月9日至10日，越南中部沿海接连发生两起货船搁浅事故。一艘约2.36万载重吨的散货船在真美港附近锚泊时走锚搁浅，另一艘巴拿马籍货船则在广义省沙黄附近海域漂移上岸。两船共载有约344.6吨燃油，船员均安全，目前尚无公开信息显示发生燃油泄漏。

Two Cargo Ships Run Aground in Separate Incidents

两艘货船接连搁浅

At approximately 20:30 on 9 November, a Vietnamese-flagged bulk carrier of around 23,620 DWT dragged anchor in strong winds and heavy seas while at anchor near Chan May Port before running aground in the vicinity of the port.

The vessel was in ballast condition at the time, with 20 crew members on board and approximately 263.63 tonnes of fuel, comprising 211.81 tonnes of fuel oil and 51.82 tonnes of diesel.

The grounding position was approximately 2.75 nautical miles southwest of Chan May Channel Buoy No. 0, in an area with a predominantly sandy seabed.

Local authorities said the incident had not affected normal port traffic. The vessel was required to inspect its hull and fuel tanks and prepare a refloating plan. No casualties or fuel leakage had been reported at the time.

11月9日20时30分左右，一艘约23,620载重吨的越南籍散货船在真美港（Chan May）附近锚泊期间，受强风浪影响发生走锚，随后在港口附近搁浅。事故发生时船舶处于压载状态，船上有20名船员，载有约263.63吨燃油，其中包括211.81吨燃料油和51.82吨柴油。搁浅点位于真美航道0号浮标西南约2.75海里，海床以沙质为主。当地部门表示，事故暂未影响港口正常通航，船方需检查船体及燃油舱状况，并制定脱浅方案，目前未发现人员伤亡或燃油泄漏。

The second incident occurred between the evening of 9 November and the early hours of 10 November. A Panama-flagged cargo vessel of approximately 8,571 DWT encountered strong winds and heavy seas off Sa Huynh, Quang Ngai Province, drifted towards the coast and eventually ran aground approximately 150 metres from shore.

There were 14 crew members on board, and the vessel was carrying approximately 81 tonnes of fuel, including 55 tonnes of fuel oil and 26 tonnes of diesel.

Local authorities had found no signs of hull damage or fuel leakage. The vessel was instructed to take protective measures for its fuel tanks and prepare both an oil-spill response plan and a refloating plan.

第二起事故发生在11月9日晚至10日凌晨。一艘约8,571载重吨的巴拿马籍货船在广义省沙黄（Sa Huynh）附近海域遭遇强风浪后漂移，最终在距岸约150米处搁浅。船上有14名船员，载有约81吨燃油，包括55吨燃料油和26吨柴油。当地部门暂未发现船体破损及燃油泄漏，并要求船方采取燃油舱防护措施、准备溢油应急方案和脱浅计划。

Strengthening Northeast Monsoon Brings Rough Seas to Central Vietnam

东北季风增强，越南中部沿海风浪加大

In early November, cold air moved south towards central Vietnam, combining with the northeast monsoon to bring strong winds, heavy rainfall and increasingly rough seas along the coast.

Marine weather forecasts issued by Vietnam's National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting indicated that, from 9 November, northeasterly winds over the waters from southern Quang Tri to Quang Ngai would strengthen to Force 6–7, with gusts of Force 8–9 and wave heights of approximately 3–5 metres.

During thunderstorms, stronger gusts and waves exceeding five metres could occur in some localised areas.

11月上旬，冷空气向越南中部推进，叠加东北季风影响，当地沿海出现大风、强降雨和海面风浪增强。

越南国家水文气象预报中心的海上天气预报显示，11月9日起，南广治至广义一带海域东北风增强至6—7级，阵风8—9级，浪高约3—5米；雷雨期间局部海域可能出现更强阵风和超过5米的海浪。

Navigation and Anchorage Precautions Along Central Vietnam's Coast

越南中部沿岸航行及锚泊需要留意

Monitor navigational warnings and the reported grounding positions: The first vessel grounded approximately 2.75 nautical miles southwest of Chan May Channel Buoy No. 0. The second grounded near Sa Huynh in Quang Ngai Province, at 14°37′39″N, 109°04′16″E, approximately 150 metres from shore.

关注航行警告及事故位置：第一艘船搁浅点在真美港航道0号浮标西南约2.75海里；第二艘船则搁浅在广义省沙黄附近，坐标为北纬14°37′39″、东经109°04′16″，距离岸边约150米。

Pay attention to nearshore water depths: Vessels should plan their routes using navigational charts, electronic charts and actual depth information. In rough weather, they should avoid getting too close to the coastline when altering course or manoeuvring to avoid other vessels.

留意近岸水深：船舶应结合海图、电子海图和实际水深规划航线，避免在风浪较大时为调整航向或避让其他船舶而过度靠近岸线。

Confirm anchorage and berthing arrangements: Vessels planning to transit waters near Hue, Chan May, Da Nang, Quang Ngai and Sa Huynh should include local weather developments and the reported grounding positions in their voyage checks.

确认锚地及靠泊安排：计划经过顺化、真美、岘港、广义及沙黄附近海域的船舶，建议将当地天气变化和事故船舶位置纳入航次检查。

Monitor Vessel Position and Anchor Cable Condition Closely

锚泊期间，重点监控船位和锚链状态

For bulk carriers in ballast condition, anchoring risks should be assessed in light of the vessel's draught, windage, changes in wind and current, and local anchorage conditions. Seabed composition, water depth, anchor cable length and available sea room all affect anchoring safety.

对处于压载状态的散货船，还应结合船舶吃水、受风面积、风流变化和锚地条件评估锚泊风险。锚地底质、水深、锚链长度及周边水域空间，都会影响锚泊稳定性。

Before anchoring, the master should select a suitable position based on the weather forecast, water depth, seabed conditions, tidal streams and surrounding traffic. The anchoring method and cable length should also be determined accordingly.

While at anchor, the bridge team should continuously monitor the vessel's position, anchor cable tension and swinging movements. Anchor-drag alarms should be set using radar, ECDIS and positioning equipment.

If winds are expected to strengthen further, the crew should assess whether to veer additional cable, change anchorage position or stand by the main engine and prepare to heave up anchor and move to safer waters, where conditions permit. All actions should be carried out in accordance with the vessel's equipment condition, operating manuals and local port authority requirements.

锚泊前，应根据天气预报、水深、底质、潮流和周边水域条件选择锚位，合理确定抛锚方式及锚链长度。锚泊期间，驾驶台应持续监控船位、锚链受力和船舶偏荡，结合雷达、电子海图及定位设备设置走锚报警。

预计风力持续增强时，应提前评估是否需要调整锚链长度、改变锚泊位置，或在条件允许时备车起锚，转移至更安全水域。具体操作应结合船舶设备状况、操作手册和港口当局要求执行。

Vessels scheduled to call at ports in central Vietnam should confirm port and anchorage conditions before arrival and adjust navigation and anchoring arrangements in line with the latest forecasts. Ships already waiting at anchor in the area should inspect their anchoring equipment in advance and prepare for deteriorating sea conditions.

近期计划挂靠越南中部港口的船舶，应在抵港前确认港口及锚地状态，并根据最新天气预报调整航行和锚泊安排。对于已经在当地锚泊等待的船舶，应提前检查锚泊设备，做好风浪增强时的应急准备。
