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.

Vietnamese authorities dispatched two search and rescue boats to the scene.  Rescuers arrived a short time later and rescued all 11 crew members. One crewman jumped into the sea after panicking, but he was later recovered.  No reports of injuries.

The 115 meter long, 3340 dwt cargo vessel Amur 2507 ran aground on the Don River near Shmat, Russia.  The Amur 2507 was en route to Samsun, Turkey from Rostov-on-Don with a cargo of wheat when it grounded on the river.  Tugs were dispatched to the scene, but were unable to refloat the cargo vessel.  Indications suggest the Amur 2507 will need to be lightered before it can be refloated.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
