Missing fisherman turns up 12 hours later clinging to plastic barrel in middle of ocean

An Indonesian man who was reported missing showed up half-a-day later bobbing along in the middle of the ocean clinging to a plastic barrel.

Indonesian national Catur, 40, was found at around 10.30am floating close to Malaysia's Sibu Island by a fishing boat that had been deployed as part of a mission to rescue him.

The 40-year-old fisherman - who was last spotted on the boat wearing green trousers - said he fell overboard at around 8pm Sunday night before drifting 9.3 nautical miles.
