Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Alkor

On March 14, a critical medical incident unfolded aboard the research vessel 'Alkor' as it navigated the Kiel Fjord, approximately 0.75 nautical miles from Strande port. At 2:45 p.m., a crew member experienced severe cardiac issues, prompting the vessel to seek immediate assistance from the lifeboat 'Berlin' stationed in Laboe. The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Bremen swiftly arranged for an ambulance and dispatched an emergency physician. The daughter vessel, 'Steppkte', promptly set sail towards the 'Alkor' to provide essential medical aid to the stricken crew member. Once stabilized, the patient was safely transported to Laboe port on the 'Berlin' and subsequently taken to a hospital for further treatment. This quick response underscores the efficient maritime emergency protocols in place to protect those at sea.
