On September 4, 2017, a medical emergency unfolded off the coast of Kochi when a Turkish crew member aboard the bulk carrier 'Yasa Unity' required urgent assistance. The 39-year-old seafarer, identified as Mehmet Sari Sahin, reported experiencing severe chest pains. The Indian Coast Guard swiftly responded to the situation, deploying the patrol boat 'C-421' to conduct the medevac operation. Upon receiving the distress call, the medical team on board 'C-421' took immediate action, evacuating Sahin from the 'Yasa Unity.' The ship was promptly instructed to navigate towards Kochi, where local agents were advised to assist with the necessary formalities upon arrival. After successfully completing immigration and customs procedures, Sahin was handed over to a local agent and transported to a private hospital for further treatment, ensuring he received the medical care he urgently needed.
