The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) launched SAR, Master was found alive, floating in water in a life jacket, after 18 hours of being in water. What happened and how Master fell overboard at around 2200 LT Apr 18, wearing life jacket, is still a mystery. Investigation launched.
The crew including Master, is said to be locked on board since Mar 18, but with that, not Master, nor crew, showed positive virus test. They all nevertheless, were put under a new 14-day quarantine, after the accident.
The number of strange or plain crazy accidents on board of ships, after virus paranoia infected the world, is on the rise, with some accidents being something unheard of before, in peaceful times of sanity.
Piracy and crime are also on the rise. Containment of coronavirus has become a global disaster with devastating consequences.
