Bulk carrier rescued mariner

The 'Skiathos', en route from Nantong to Newcaslte with an ETA as of July 8, 2022, assisted in the rescue of an injured mariner sailing solo off the coast of Australia. After receiving a distress beacon from a 10-meter yacht with a 70-year-old solo crew member located 167 kilometers east of Double Island Point, Queensland, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) diverted the 'Skiathos' to the yacht's location. The crew found the yacht and brought the vessel alongside. Te AMSA tasked the Melbourne-based Challenger jet and a Brisbane-based CHC helicopter to attend the scene, however due to the sailor’s injuries, he was unable to be safely removed from his yacht before night fall. A Queensland Police vessel from Mooloolaba went to the scene and transported the sailor back to land for medical treatment.
