On May 6, 2013, the U.S. Coast Guard successfully conducted a medical evacuation of a 46-year-old man from the cargo vessel 'KM Osaka,' which was anchored near Cape Charles, Virginia. Around 6:45 p.m., the ship's agent contacted the watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads, reporting that a crew member had sustained a broken arm and required urgent medical assistance. In response, the Coast Guard quickly diverted a team aboard a 45-foot Response Boat, which was in the vicinity conducting training near Kiptopeke. Remarkably, the crew reached the scene within just 15 minutes. Thanks to the seamless coordination with local emergency medical services, medical personnel were ready at the station, facilitating a swift transfer of the injured man to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in Nassawado for further treatment.
