Alpine-Legend Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On June 1, 2014, two crew members aboard the tanker 'Alpine Legend' experienced medical emergencies prompting an urgent medevac in Bermuda. The incident unfolded as the vessels were navigating between Cape Verde and Charleston, when both the boatswain and an ordinary seaman displayed symptoms consistent with malaria. In response to their condition, the vessel made an unplanned diversion to Five Fathom Hole, Bermuda, arriving in the afternoon. At approximately 4 p.m., the two Filipino crew members were transferred to a pilot boat and then taken to a nearby hospital via ambulance. Meanwhile, the 'Alpine Legend' proceeded onward to its intended route. Health updates indicated that one of the men was released from King Edward VII Hospital on June 3, while the other remained hospitalized under care, with the reassuring news that malaria is not a contagious disease.
