Working Conditions Aboard the Cora-Jo

On the evening of July 15 at 8 p.m., the CROSS de Gris-Nez received an urgent report from the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) in Falmouth regarding a crew member aboard the vessel 'Cora Jo' who was suffering from severe abdominal pain. At that time, the vessel was anchored approximately three miles off the coast of Tréport. Following the initial communication with the ship, the CROSS organized a conference call involving the Centre for Maritime medical consultation (CCMM) in Toulouse and the UAS maritime medical coordination (SCMM) in Le Havre. The medical professionals advised that the crew member required emergency evacuation to the Dieppe hospital. Promptly responding to the situation, the Dauphin helicopter from the Navy base in Le Touquet was dispatched to carry out the rescue operation. The crew member was successfully airlifted and transported to Dieppe hospital, where he arrived safely at 9:10 p.m.
