    The image shows a large cargo vessel named 'MAPUJITA' listing heavily to one side in open ocean waters. A person in an orange life jacket is visible in the water near the hull of the ship. A second individual appears to be seated on the exposed bulbous bow area of the tilted vessel.
    Two individuals are suspended on a rope alongside the hull of a large vessel over open ocean water. One person, wearing a red jacket and appearing to be a rescuer, is holding onto another person who is wearing only swim briefs and fins, suggesting a maritime rescue operation. The rescuer appears to be assisting the swimmer in climbing up the side of the ship.
