Four freighters were beached by the typhoon Talas on July 17, 2017, among them the “Thai Ha 26” and cargo ship “Truong Than”.

Both were anchored off Cua Lo Beach and drifted ashore during the Talas passage. Preparations were under way to work out plan of wreck removals. The required surveys of the beached vessel’s condition was already going on.

The typhoon Talas also had sunk the cargo ship “VTB 26”, with five crew members still missing and one having been recovered dead.
