A Shell LNG carrier and a Cosco containership have combined resources to come to the aid of a British yachtsman in trouble off Puerto Rico.
The 9,600-teu CSCL Long Beach (built 2007) and the 136,985-cbm Gemmata (built 2004) took part in the rescue of 39-year-old Carl Michael Corey late last week, according to the US Coast Guard (USCG).
The two ships, working with the USCG cutter Joseph Napier, responded to calls for assistance when Corey's 36-foot sailing vessel Jade became disabled in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 114 nautical miles (211 km) southeast of Yabucoam, Puerto Rico.
