That’s quite a dramatic event! The seaman, whose identity hasn’t been disclosed, reportedly spent over 20 hours stranded in the open ocean off the east coast of Australia. His rescue involved significant efforts from the local maritime authorities and possibly the Australian Coast Guard.
He was found not far from his abandoned vessel and was quickly transferred to a hospital where he underwent a full medical examination. His precise condition is not clear yet, but he is reportedly alive and receiving necessary medical care and support.
While details of how he wound up stranded at sea for such an extended period are still forthcoming, the rescue is considered a notable success for the rescuers involved in the operation as situations like this can often end in tragedy.
