Working Conditions Aboard the As-One

On December 20, 2022, a Filipino crew member aboard the 'Marlin V' faced health issues while the vessel was navigating from Abidjan to Rotterdam. The emergency took place around 1:50 a.m. when the ship was approximately 160 nautical miles off the coast of Penmarc'h in Finistère. A swift response was mounted as a helicopter from the Cayman Islands, launched from the Lanvéoc naval base, undertook the crucial medevac operation. The crew member was successfully hoisted aboard the helicopter, with the entire evacuation concluded by 2:50 a.m. Subsequently, he received medical attention at the Cavale Blanche hospital in Brest. The operation was coordinated by CROSS Étel.
