Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Pacific-Ruby

On September 20, 2021, a dramatic medevac operation took place 22 miles south of Sabine, Texas, where the U.S. Coast Guard intervened to assist a 35-year-old crew member aboard the tanker 'Pacific Ruby.' The alarm was raised at 10:36 p.m. when watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector Houston command center received an urgent call about an individual displaying signs of abnormal lethargy and requiring swift medical attention. After assessing the situation, consultation with the duty flight surgeon led to the decision for an emergency medevac. A highly skilled crew from Coast Guard Air Station Houston promptly launched an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter to the scene. Upon arrival, they successfully hoisted the incapacitated crew member aboard and transported him to the Medical Center of Southeast Texas in Port Arthur, where he was reported to be in stable condition post-evacuation. This operation underscores the Coast Guard's commitment to ensuring the safety and health of maritime personnel in distress.
