Victorian police have rescued a man in Port Phillip Bay, after he was believed to have jumped from an international oil tanker.
Police said the 31-year-old Georgian national was found by the air wing clinging to a navigational marker about five kilometres from where the ship had docked in Melbourne.
The man was pulled from the water about 7:50pm on Sunday and medically assessed at Williamstown.
"The man was taken to hospital accompanied by Australian Border Force officials who were assisting the [department of health]," a police spokeswoman said.
"It is expected the man will be transferred to mandatory quarantine once released from hospital."
Officers who came into contact with the man have been sent into self-isolation as a precaution, police said.
