Chief Cook Evacuated

By

Ian Gray, NSRI Port Elizabeth station commander, said; “At 10a.m., Tuesday, 04th August, NSRI Port Elizabeth duty crew were placed on alert by the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) reporting the bulk carrier SPRING HYDRANGEA, sailing from India to Rio De Janeiro, heading towards Port Elizabeth and requiring medical assistance for their Chief Cook suffering suspected yellow jaundice and requiring evacuation to hospital.

“At 17h00 NSRI Port Elizabeth launched the sea rescue craft EIKOS RESCUER IV accompanied by a Relay Ambulance Services paramedic and rendezvoused with SPRING HYDRANGEA 1.5 nautical miles off-shore of Port Elizabeth’s Port.

“The patient, a 45 year old Filipino, in a stable condition (walking wounded), was transferred onto our sea rescue craft and brought to shore and he has been transported to doctors in a Relay ambulance services ambulance for further medical evaluation and possible hospitalisation.”

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
