Winner of the 2022 award

2022年获奖者

2021年12月12日上午，“Tian Feng 369”号货轮遭遇恶劣天气，在芝罘湾东北方向30海里处遇水沉没。油轮“Jian Qiao 502”在驶往东莞港的途中，立即改变航向，以协助遇险船只。

On the morning of 12 December 2021, the cargo ship Tian Feng 369 experienced bad weather, flooded and began to sink 30 nautical miles northeast of Zhifu Bay. The tanker Jian Qiao 502, which was en-route to Port of Dongguan, changed course without delay to assist the vessel in distress.

经过一个半小时的彻底搜索，大副XU BO发现了一个装满海水的漂流救生筏，上面有两名幸存者。“Jian Qiao 502”号向救生筏驶去，船员们很快意识到，两名幸存者都太虚弱了，无法将救生绳牢牢地系在自己身上。

After one and a half hours of exhaustive search, chief officer Bo Xu spotted a drifting life raft filled with seawater and carrying two survivors. The Jian Qiao 502 headed for the raft and the crew quickly realized that both survivors were too weak to securely tie a rope to themselves.

XU BO毫不犹豫地跳入冰冷的海水中，与巨浪和激流搏斗，不屈不挠地向救生筏游去。在几次尝试后，他爬到救生筏上，把救生绳系在幸存者身上，在其他船员的帮助下，他们成功地转移到了甲板上。

Mr. Xu jumped into the freezing waters without hesitating and swam relentlessly towards the raft, battling high waves and strong currents. After several attempts, he reached and pulled himself to the life raft and tied the ropes to the survivors, who were successfully transferred to the deck with the help of other crew members.

回到船上后，尽管他自己仍然感到疲劳和寒冷，但大副立即对两名幸存者进行了紧急心肺复苏。最终，获救者中的一人幸存下来，另一人不幸因体温过低而去世。

On his return to the ship, the chief officer immediately performed emergency resuscitation on both survivors, despite the fatigue and cold he still suffered. Eventually, one of the rescued survived and the other, regrettably, passed away due to hypothermia.

Mr. Xu被中国提名为该奖项的候选人。

Mr. Xu was nominated for the award by China.
