On August 11, the 70 meter long cargo vessel Hai Ha 38 sank in the South China Sea near Da Nang, Vietnam. The Hai Ha 38 departed from Quang Ninh to Can Tho with a cargo of 1600 tons of bricks.  The Hai Ha 38 proceeded into strong winds caused by a nearby tropical depression when it suffered a cargo shift.  The cargo of bricks shifted and the cargo vessel developed a 40 degrees list to starboard.  With the Hai Ha 38 in danger of capsizing and sinking, the crew sent out a distress call and requested assistance.
