How was he being supplied before the ship ran aground?
- FridayoLeary 6y agoaccording to news articles he SWAM to shore to pick up basic supplies. Not even a small rowing boat or something was made available to him.
- hn8788 6y agoThat was only after it ran aground. The article says that before that, he was anchored, presumably far enough out that he had no way to get to shore.
- Magi604 6y agoIn the article it states that he started swimming to shore only after the ship had run aground a few hundred meters from the shore. So the question remains, how did he sustain himself beforehand? Did the ship have years worth of supplies for him on board?
- FridayoLeary 6y agoi'm sorry, my error.
- Magi604 6y agoAll good my friend. I found the article to be really poor actually. It seems a lot of details were left out, possibly for maximum effect at editorializing the situation.
- patentatt 6y agoSo, does that mean this guy's been eating Bahrainian MREs for the whole time?
- abhijat 6y agoI was wondering the same thing, since the ship had no power either perishables would go bad quickly, also where did he get money to buy food later on? Was it his savings?
- drak0n1c 6y agoThe article names 2019 as when he totally ran out of fuel. I assume there were previously enough rations on board (it was stocked for an entire crew before being abandoned), and perhaps he made a deal with the visiting guard to bring food.
