Working Conditions Aboard the Huemul

On January 22, 2017, a critical medical evacuation was executed by the US Coast Guard 145 miles southwest of Key West, Florida. A 34-year-old crew member aboard the vessel 'Huemul' sustained significant injuries to his head and shoulders after an unfortunate fall. At 2:45 PM, the Coast Guard in Key West received an urgent call from the tanker detailing the situation. Responding swiftly, a crew from Coast Guard Air Station Miami deployed an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter. The team successfully hoisted the injured man and transported him to Air Station Miami, where he was subsequently handed over to emergency medical services waiting on the ground.
