A Swedish man was travelling by boat from Djurö, Stockholm archipelago to Vormsi, Estonia when he got lost and ran out of fuel.

Within fifteen minutes of his first PLB message, an encoded position was received and SAR helicopters, Swedish Coast Guard aircraft and surface units were tasked.

He and his boat were found at the encoded position by a SAR helicopter and he was transported to hospital.
