Vietnam rescues sick Filipino sailor off Nha Trang coast
VOV.VN - A sailor from the Philippines was rescued in Vietnamese waters on May 25 by a Vietnamese marine rescue team after suffering from severe abdominal pain.
Guerrero Rosmeni Nedia, 24, fell sick on board of MAYASAN, a Panamanian oil tanker sailing from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Japan.
The rescue operation happened in waters roughly 180 nautical miles to southeast of Nha Trang, central Vietnam.
Following Nedia’s condition worsening, the captain of the ship immediately contacted the Vietnamese Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) for help.
The rescue ship SAR 27-01 was then sent out to reach MAYASAN and Nedia was later brought ashore for examination and treatment.
At present he is recovering from his illness, said doctors at Khanh Hoa province’s General Hospital.
