A cargo ship with 21 crew members onboard found itself stranded without power off the coast of the Royal National Park on Monday as New South Wales continues to be lashed by wild weather.
"The ship has no power and is currently 1nm offshore. IRBS from Thirroul Surf Life Saving Club and a jetski are on standby."
"It obviously is a very precarious position. Our thoughts are with those who are on board," he said at about 10am.
