What Crew Members Say About My-Armony

On January 11, 2014, the vessel 'Susan' encountered a significant situation as it ran aground while navigating outbound from Schiedam, specifically near marker 5. The incident prompted immediate action, and the KOTUG tugs 'SD Rover' and 'SD Sparta' were dispatched to successfully refloat the vessel. As of January 12, 2014, the 'Susan' remained stationed in Rotterdam, awaiting further developments.

In the early hours of August 14, at approximately 2:20 AM, the CROSS Etel responded to a distress call from the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) Den Helder regarding a crew member aboard the vessel 'Sofie N'. The sailor, a Filipino national, was suffering from severe abdominal pain while the ship was navigating 69 miles southwest of Penmarc'h en route to Amsterdam. After consulting with the telemedical advice service in Toulouse, authorities from both MRCC and CROSS deemed it necessary to carry out a medical evacuation. A Dauphin helicopter, dispatched from the Navy Base Lanvéoc, was equipped with both a doctor and a nurse from the military health service. At around 4:00 AM, the patient was safely winched aboard the helicopter and subsequently transported to the University Hospital de la Cavale Blanche in Brest, where he arrived at 4:35 AM for further medical care. This successful operation highlights the efficient coordination of maritime rescue teams in responding to emergencies at sea.
