Breaking news! A container ship caught fire, which had been docked in Qingdao and Shanghai! A seaman jumped off the ship, triggering a 30-hour manhunt!

According to local Australian media reports, the man escaped from the hold of the Polaris 3 cargo ship carrying livestock and then jumped off the ship, which was docked in waters near Townsville in northern Queensland.

After the man came ashore, he left the port in a white van and has not been seen since.

Australian Border Force (ABF) officers launched a massive manhunt over the weekend to find the man who allegedly breached international quarantine regulations and crossed into Queensland.

The cargo ship left China's Huanghua Port on April 12, with Australia as its destination, and docked in Townsville on April 29. The incident sparked dissatisfaction among the remaining 11 crew members on board. When they heard that the man had escaped, they also got off the ship. But they still stayed at the port and did not violate quarantine regulations.

Queensland Police confirmed on Monday the man had handed himself in to Townsville Police Station. He has been detained and will be handed over to Border Force officers for possible prosecution.

Earlier, Queensland Health said in a statement to 9News that "the crew are being tested for the virus, and the risk to the community is low." The remaining 11 men refused to reboard the ship and asked Australian authorities to grant them asylum. Queensland Health has tested all 11 men for the virus, and Border Force officials are closely monitoring the situation.
