On the morning of August 24, 2023, the Porto Torres Port Authority orchestrated a critical medical evacuation involving a 39-year-old Kazakh passenger aboard the cruise ship 'MSC Seaview.' The vessel was en route to Palma de Mallorca, accommodating 5,083 passengers and 1,507 crew members, when the distress call was made. The operation kicked off at 7:40 a.m. after the ship's team reached out to the Turritan Coast Guard's operations room. The emergency response included the activation of C.I.R.M. (Centro Internazionale Radio Medico), which after a thorough radio consultation with the ship's medical personnel, advised an urgent evacuation for the patient suffering from epileptic fits. To ensure a safe transfer, the Harbour Master's Office directed the ship to divert into calmer waters of the Gulf of Asinara. The Aw 139 'Rescue Ina' helicopter from the Coast Guard was dispatched to the scene, supported by the patrol vessel 'CP 560,' which provided crucial assistance throughout the rescue operation, maintaining communication and managing traffic in the area. Around 9:30 a.m., the Coast Guard aircraft, having taken off from the Decimomannu base, reached the ship approximately five nautical miles from Porto Torres and began the transfer procedures for the patient. The successful rescue was finalized at 10:10 a.m. when the helicopter landed at the Santissima Annunziata hospital in Sassari for immediate treatment, while the 'MSC Seaview' continued its scheduled journey to Palma de Mallorca.

On the morning of October 20, 2022, a medical emergency unfolded aboard the 'MSC Seaview' as a 78-year-old French passenger experienced acute pulmonary edema while en route from Valletta to Barcelona. At approximately 7:15 a.m., the Harbor Master's Office operational team responded to a distress call from the cruise ship, located nearly 85 nautical miles off the coast of Cagliari. Given the urgency of the situation, the Italian Coast Guard promptly dispatched a helicopter from Decimomannu. The rescue crew aboard the 'Nemo' helicopter skillfully executed the medical evacuation and successfully transported the ailing passenger to Brotzu Hospital in Cagliari. This life-saving operation was completed just two hours after the initial request for assistance, highlighting the quick response efforts of the local maritime authorities.

On January 11, 2021, a prompt medical evacuation was executed off the coast of Maspalomas when the CCS Las Palmas of Salvamento Marítimo deployed the SAR helicopter Helimer 222.
