A Filipino crewman has been admitted to hospital after suffering an electric shock on a tanker off Vietnam.
Vietnam Net reported that the seafarer was brought ashore at Nha Trang city from the 7,900-dwt Penyuan (built 2009) on Sunday.
Romeil Orbit Murillo, born in 1989, was the subject of a medical request for help while the vessel was en route from Ho Chi Minh City to China.
Authorities instructed colleagues to apply first aid, but Murillo's condition deteriorated.
The ship was then ordered to head nearer the shore and a search-and-rescue vessel took him into port.
Operator Shin Yang of Malaysia has been contacted for comment.
