Gqeberha NSRI Assist Cruise Liner Crew Member

By

Justin Erasmus, NSRI Gqeberha station commander, said: At 19h21, Friday, 6 May, NSRI Gqeberha duty crew were activated following a request for medical assistance from a cruise liner reporting a 27 year old female crew member requiring medical attention and evacuation to hospital.

The cruise liner had left the Port of Port Elizabeth earlier.

The sea rescue craft Spirit of Toft was launched, accompanied by an EC Government Health EMS rescue paramedic.

On arrival at the vessel, in Algoa Bay, an NSRI rescue swimmer and the EMS rescue paramedic boarded the ship using the Jacobs Ladder.

The patient, in a stable condition, secured into a harness, was hoisted aboard our sea rescue craft from the deck of the ship.

In the care of NSRI and the EMS rescue paramedic she was brought to our NSRI rescue base and transported to hospital by EMS ambulance for further care.
