Amazing rescue of fisherman randomly found floating in ocean

By chance a crewmember of the "Swiber Charlton" spotted his floating head.

In a release, Swiber Holdings Limited made a miraculous rescue last week in South China Sea.

Last Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 4:40pm, as towing tugboat “Swiber Charlton” was on its way back from Vung Tau, Vietnam to Singapore , the crew on board spotted at a far distance, a man floating but alive, in the open waters of the South China Sea.

Captain of Swiber Charlton, Vicky Robert Kirojan made the call to turn back, and at 5:02pm, the crew was close enough to be in position to throw a lifebuoy at him. They brought him up on the deck where he was quickly administered first aid. He did not incur any serious injuries and was assessed physically well.

Said Mr. Raymond Goh, Executive Chairman of Swiber “I am so grateful that our vessel was just in the right place at the right time, to save this man’s life and return him safely back to his family. I am proud of the quick thinking and quick action of the Captain and Crew of Swiber Charlton as well as those on the ground for their immediate coordination with the proper authorities. There is indeed a higher purpose for our lives - it will seek us - even as we normally carry on through our day. I am glad that Swiber Charlton’s team realised theirs last Thursday.”

In gratitude, Mr. Montri Srirak said, "I am thankful that Swiber Charlton saved my life. Everyone treated me well."

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
