A badly injured Chinese seafarer has been airlifted from a Wisdom Marine Lines’ handysize bulker off the US island off Puerto Rico.
The 20-year-old crewmember had sustained multiple broken bones and a head injury after falling from a crane onboard the 37,800-dwt Bunun Hero (built 2015).
The Bunun Hero was transiting on a voyage to Europe and about 525 nautical miles northeast of Puerto Rico, outside the range of responding rescue helicopters, when the captain of the ship reported the incident to the US Coast Guard (USCG).
