Mr. Bo Xu, Chief Officer of the oil tanker Jian Qiao 502, is to receive the 2022 IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea, in recognition of his bravery, determination and endurance when rescuing two individuals in a liferaft near Zhifu Bay in northern China, in severe weather and heavy seas.
2021年12月12日上午，货轮天丰369(Tian Feng 369)遭遇恶劣天气，在芝罘湾东北30海里处进水并开始下沉。此时，正前往东莞港的油轮建桥502立即改航，以协助营救遇险船舶。
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.
经过一个半小时的仔细搜索，许波发现了一艘漂浮但已经入水的救生筏，上面载着两名幸存者。由于两人当时都太虚弱了，无法将绳子牢牢系在自己身上。
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.
许波毫不犹豫地跳进冰冷的海水中，与巨浪和强流搏斗，奋力向救生筏游去。经过几次尝试，他终于攀上救生筏，并将绳索系在幸存者身上，随后这两名幸存者在其他船员的帮助下被成功转移到甲板上。
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，尽管许波感到疲劳和寒冷，他仍立即向两名幸存者进行急救。最终，其中一人幸免于难，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.
许波的提名來自中国。IMO海上安全委员会第106次会议（11月2日至11日）期间，奖项将在2022年11月2日IMO颁奖典礼上由秘书长颁发。
Mr. Xu was nominated for the award by China. The awards will be presented by the Secretary‑General at the IMO Awards Ceremony on 2 November 2022, during the 106th meeting of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (2-11 November).
