On 29th June, the Swedish Maritime Administration rescued a mother and her son from the water after an hour of immersion, in the Baltic Sea.
In particular, the ferry Stena Spirit was underway in the Baltic on a voyage from Karlskrona, Sweden to Gdynia, Poland.
Then, a seven-year-old fell in, and his mother jumped in after him in an attempt to rescue him.
As explained, NATO vessels and helicopters were under way in the area conducting an exercise, and they joined in the emergency response effort, along with Stena Spirit.
As informed, a helicopter from the Swedish Maritime Administration found the mother and winched her aboard. The child was found separately and saved by the ship’s crew.
The child fell into the sea from a height of about 20 meters.
