Arianna Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a dramatic operation on July 6, 2014, the CROSS Corsen was swiftly alerted to a medical emergency aboard the cargo ship 'Hans Lehmann', which was navigating the traffic separation zone near Ouessant, en route from Wismar to Casablanca. The alarm was raised at 0:15 a.m. when a crew member sustained an injury that required immediate attention. Following urgent discussions between the maritime medical consultation center (CCMM) in Toulouse, the CROSS Corsen, and the ship's captain, it was determined that a helicopter evacuation was necessary. By 4:50 a.m., preparations were underway for the medevac. A Cayman NH 90 helicopter launched at approximately 6:15 a.m., reaching the vessel by 6:25 a.m. The heroic rescue team successfully hoisted the injured crew member and swiftly transported him to Cavale Blanche Hospital in Brest, where he arrived at 7:11 a.m. This incident highlights the critical role of maritime coordination and rapid response in ensuring the safety of seafarers.
