A Taiwanese fishing boat captain has been discovered unconscious on the deck of his vessel.

Fishermen aboard another boat found the vessel drifting and approached to investigate. In addition to the 52-year-old captain, they also found two migrant worker crew members on board, neither of whom knew how to operate the vessel.

The coast guard received an emergency notification about the incident from the Fisheries Agency early Tuesday. The coast guard dispatched a team to the fishing boat, and had the captain sent to a hospital.

The distressed fishing boat has since been towed into port in the outlying Penghu Islands.    [SOURCE]
