In case you missed it, a Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aircrew, forward-deployed to Cold Bay, medically evacuated a mariner from a vessel 220 miles south of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, on Wednesday.
The MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew hoisted the 44-year-old man from the 550-foot container ship FPMC 33 and safely transported him back to Cold Bay for a wing-to-wing transfer with LifeMed Alaska personnel who then transported him to a higher level of medical care.
“Crewmembers aboard the FPMC 33 were able to stabilize the man as the ship transited to the rendezvous point," said Master Chief Petty Officer Christopher Cole, Coast Guard 17th District command duty officer. “Through the coordination of Sector Anchorage watchstanders, Air Station Kodiak personnel, the FPMC 33 crew, and the LifeMed Alaska aircrew, we were able to quickly transport the man to a higher level of care.”
