Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Amur-Star

On May 23, 2013, a life-saving operation unfolded off the coast of Ijmuiden when the KNRM lifeboat 'Koos van Messel' was summoned for a medical evacuation. The vessel 'Amur Star', anchored at the time, sought urgent assistance from the German Medical Service due to a medical emergency aboard. Responding swiftly, the dedicated KNRM crew maneuvered alongside the ship, where one of their skilled members boarded to evaluate the patient’s condition. With careful coordination, the individual was able to transfer to the lifeboat using the pilot ladder, along with their personal effects. The lifeboat then navigated to the port, where an ambulance was readily waiting to provide further medical attention.
