On September 6, 2015, at approximately 5:30 p.m., the CROSS Jobourg orchestrated a vital rescue mission situated 40 nautical miles west of Jobourg. The vessel 'Cobalt Water,' which was en route from Rotterdam to Aveiro, reported a medical emergency involving a 66-year-old crew member experiencing severe chest pains. Responding swiftly, the maritime medical coordination unit (SCMM) based in Le Havre made the decision to deploy a medical team to assist the affected individual. An EC-225 helicopter from the Maupertus Navy base was dispatched alongside medical personnel from the army medical center in Querqueville. Heading to the distressed vessel, the helicopter reached the site around 6:40 p.m., where the ship adjusted its course towards the coastline for easier access.

On June 25, 2011, the lifeboat 'Alfried Krupp' executed a critical medevac operation between Borkum and Rottumeroog, rescuing a second engineer who had sustained serious injuries. The individual suffered extensive burns across his upper body, arms, and legs while aboard his vessel, which was navigating seaward in the Westerems area. The emergency was reported to the MRCC Bremen by the Ems traffic control, prompting an immediate response. The 'Alfried Krupp', a dedicated rescue vessel, was dispatched to assist the tank m/v heading towards Spain, which promptly reversed course to facilitate the medevac. Approximately ten nautical miles northwest of Borkum, near Westerems buoy 14, the lifeboat skillfully came alongside the tanker, allowing for the safe transfer of the injured engineer. Once on board the lifeboat, paramedics provided essential medical care in the ship's hospital. Upon arrival in Eemshaven, he was handed over to an ambulance for further treatment.
