Quorn

The Turkish Captain of the 'Quorn' has been lost overboard on May 2, 2022, in the Java Sea north of Bali island, while the ship was en route from Port Hedland to Dung Quat. After the che crew aboard the bulk carrier discovered that the captain, Erhan Seçkal, 40, was missing, they immediately began a search of the ship. They could not locate him in his cabin or in the common areas. Crew members told the rescue services that they believed the captain might have gone overboard as they could not locate him anywhere on the 958-foot vessel. They threw lift jackets into the sea and began a search in an area approximately 30 miles north of Bali. Indonesian rescue teams also began a search and alerted other ships in the area. The crew of the ship was also in contact with the captain’s wife, who told them she had last heard from him early on May 2 with a text message. The bulker was unable to find any signs of the captain and later resumed its voyage. After two and a half days in the water, a fishing boat operating off Bali came across the captain clinging to a piece of wood. They recovered him and brought him to port where he was treated by doctors at the hospital and released. The captain told the rescue authorities that he had no memory of his fall from the ship. He said he had been checking the stern of the vessel and his next memory was floating in the ocean. Zodiac Maritime is paying the captain’s expenses and providing him a plane ticket for the trip home to Turkey.
