'They were all intact. Nobody is hurt.'
A large part of the inflatable catamaran’s stern was torn away when it was attacked by multiple sharks in the Coral Sea, off the northeast coast of Australia.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the boat was sailing from Vanuatu to Cairns when the sharks attacked. Both hulls of the vessel were damaged. The Tion, a nine-metre catamaran, was sailing on a round-the-world expedition and its crew set off an emergency positioning beacon about 519 miles southeast of Cairns early on Wednesday morning.
Rescue crews responded to the beacon and AMSA requested the assistance of a Panama-flagged vehicle carrier, the vehicle-carrying Dugong Ace, which successfully conducted the rescue.The three passengers – two Russian and one French citizen aged between 28 and 64 – are due to arrive in Brisbane on Thursday.
The three men on board the boat were unharmed, said Anna Kosikhina, a spokesperson for the voyage, which began two years ago and aimed to promote Russia and Siberia.The three sailors were unhurt
