ANGLEVIKEN
The 'Angleviken' came across a fisherman floating in the Java Sea for two days in a life ring, 12 nautical miles from land. The master of the 'Avgleviken', Captain Bhanu Kundi, reportedly sighted an object floating in the water approximately 2.5 nautical miles ahead of the tanker while they were sailing in the Java Sea. He maneuvered the vessel and sounded the general alarm with a man overboard announcement when they realized it was a person floating in the water. The crew of Indian, Ukrainian, and Filipino seafarers started the rescue operation. They successfully recovered the man in just 45 minutes from when the alarm was sounded. He had jumped from the fishing boat he was working on because he had been working without pay. He was brought aboard safely and both conscious and uninjured.
BRP BAGACAY
The BRP 'Bagacay', on a resupply mission to the Scarborough Shoal, was confronted by 10 Chinese ships, four China Coast Guard vessels and six Chinese Maritime Militia vessels, which encircled the vessel on April 30, 2024. They swerved in front of the Philippine crew, who exchanged warnings over the radio. On the deck, the crew rushed towards buoys every time the Chinese edged closer, trying to protect themselves in case there was a collision. Then the Chinese fired with their water cannons. The 'Bagacay' turned back after a patrol ship of the country's Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, the BRP 'Datu Bankaw', which was travelling alongside, had its radar damaged by the water cannons. The'Bagacay' suffered damage to the railing and canopy. No injuries were reported.

BIRKA GOTLAND
On April 28, 2024, the 'Birka Gotland', sailing between Stockholm and Marihamn, requested assistance for a child with an allergic reaction. An SAR helicopter apparently couldn't go out due to inclement weather, so the Sea Rescue Society deployed the RS 'Vialla' from the station in Räfsnäs. The sea rescuers boarded the ship north of Furusund and took over the patient, who was handed over to a waiting ambulance in Kapellskär.
