Troubled Filipino crew-member rescued at sea
PANO – Boat CN02-TSA of the Vietnam Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center on May 31 successfully brought a Filipino crew-member in distress ashore for further treatment.
Earlier, the distressed Filipino, a crew-member on board Ship SHINE ON C6AR6, felt off the ship about 30 nautical miles off Nha Trang coast (Khanh Hoa province).
After receiving a mayday signal, the center immediately contacted the ship, instructed other crew-members on board to give the patient first aid, and sent Boat CN02-TSA to the rescue.
At 5:15pm the same day, the boat approached the ship, provided healthcare for the patient, and took him ashore for further treatment.
