Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Fpmc-33

On January 11, 2023, a dedicated aircrew from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, stationed in Cold Bay, successfully executed a medevac operation for a crew member aboard the 'RPMC 33,' approximately 220 miles south of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The urgent request for assistance was received on January 10 at 6:30 p.m. after the individual sustained severe leg injuries. The Coast Guard 17th District's command center in Juneau immediately coordinated the mission, instructing the vessel 'FPMC 33' to rendezvous with the Kodiak aircrew at the specified location for a safe patient transfer. The crew aboard the ship managed to stabilize the injured man while navigating to the meeting point. An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was dispatched and successfully hoisted the 44-year-old man from the 550-foot container ship, swiftly bringing him back to Cold Bay. There, he was transferred to LifeMed Alaska for further medical treatment. At the time of the rescue, the patient was reported to be in stable condition despite the challenges posed by weather conditions, which included winds ranging from 15-20 mph with gusts reaching 30 mph, and turbulent 10-foot seas. This operation highlights the Coast Guard's ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of maritime personnel in distress.
