Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Minoan-Hill

On May 14, 2026, the Argentine Maritime Authority successfully conducted a medical evacuation operation approximately 12 nautical miles off the Quequén coastline. A crew member aboard the cargo ship 'Minoan Hill' was suffering from severe abdominal pain, suspected to be acute appendicitis. The situation escalated after a maritime agency notified the Quequén Prefecture about the 36-year-old Ethiopian national's condition, which had persisted for four days. After a thorough assessment via radio consultation between the Maritime Traffic Management Center of the Mar del Plata Prefecture and a doctor, it was confirmed that the crew member required immediate airlift to receive appropriate medical treatment. Responding swiftly, a helicopter from the National Maritime Authority departed from the Mar del Plata Air Station, located at Astor Piazzolla International Airport. Despite challenging weather conditions, the rescue team successfully hoisted the patient using a rescue basket. Upon landing, the injured man was transferred to the Mar del Plata headquarters in the port area, where an ambulance was on standby to rush him to a private clinic for advanced medical care.
