The US Coast Guard (USCG) has airlifted the sick captain from a Singapore-flagged bulker off the southern United States.
The 58-year-old Filipino man was airlifted from the 61,413-dwt Spring Sky (built 2014) on Friday 200 miles northeast of Port Canaveral.
Earlier in the day the USCG had been informed that the master of the vessel was reportedly suffering from severe abdominal pain.
