Working Conditions Aboard the Auto-Achieve

In a recent maritime rescue operation, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) of Portugal initiated a medical evacuation for a crew member aboard the commodity carrier 'Auto Achieve'. The vessel was approximately 100 nautical miles off the coast of A Coruña, making its way from Vigo to Le Havre. The Spanish National Center promptly alerted the Coordination Centre for Maritime Safety (CCS) in Finisterre, leading to the deployment of SAR helicopter Helimer 401. The aircraft successfully hoisted the ailing man and transported him to Alvedro airport. From there, an ambulance was on standby to take him to the hospital for further medical attention. This swift action highlights the effectiveness of international maritime cooperation in emergency situations.
