Ingrid Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On April 3, 2024, a dramatic medical evacuation was carried out by the US Coast Guard, rescuing a 29-year-old male from the vessel 'Ingrid', located about 160 miles southwest of San Diego. At around 1:30 p.m., the Sector San Diego Joint Harbor Operations Center received an urgent distress signal from the 'Ingrid', indicating that a crew member was experiencing a serious medical crisis. Assessing the situation, responders determined that the individual urgently required advanced medical attention. In swift action, Sector San Diego deployed a Jayhawk helicopter crew from their Air Station, accompanied by a Specialized Trauma Assistance Team (STAR) medic, to execute the rescue mission. Within hours, by approximately 4:30 p.m., the aircrew successfully landed back at Sector San Diego, where the patient was promptly handed over to Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Fortunately, the patient was reported to be in stable condition following the evacuation.

On the morning of March 2, 2017, a dramatic rescue unfolded in the lightering zone between Freeport and Galveston when a Coast Guard aircrew successfully medevaced a 35-year-old chief engineer from the tanker 'Ingrid.' The emergency call was initiated at approximately 6:35 a.m. by the tanker’s agent, who informed the Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders that the chief engineer had sustained a broken leg due to an incident involving an anchor chain. Shortly thereafter, the ship’s master confirmed that immediate medical assistance was necessary. Acting swiftly, the watchstanders dispatched an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from the Coast Guard Air Station Houston at 8:10 a.m. Within an hour, they arrived at the site and hoisted the injured engineer onboard, completing the rescue by 9 a.m. The man was subsequently transported to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he was reported to be in stable condition after receiving medical care. This successful operation highlights the Coast Guard's commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those at sea.
