The container vessel APL Los Angeles has successfully resumed its operations after being grounded for several weeks.

On April 12, 2016, at 10:25 PM, the Maritime Prefecture of the Atlantic reported a critical situation involving a Ukrainian crew member aboard the 'MSC Los Angeles' who sustained severe burns to his legs from boiling water. The vessel, located approximately 37.5 nautical miles north of Ouessant, prompted the ship’s master to initiate a medical evacuation request. The coordination for the mission involved a conference call between the Maritime Coordination Centre (MMCC) in Toulouse and the maritime medical coordination (SCMM) in Finistère. Following the assessment, it was firmly decided that a helicopter evacuation was necessary to transport the injured crew member to La Cavale Blanche Hospital in Brest. The CROSS promptly alerted the Cayman helicopter from the naval aviation base in Lanvéoc. The helicopter lifted off at 11:18 PM, equipped with a medical team, and successfully reached the 'MSC Los Angeles' at 11:39 PM. Medical professionals on board the ship provided initial care to the injured sailor before he was hoisted into the helicopter for further medical attention. By 1:04 AM on April 13, the helicopter had safely arrived at the hospital where the crew member was handed over to the hospital staff, ensuring he received the urgent care he required.
