On September 25, 2012, the KNRM lifeboat 'Christien' from Breskens executed a remarkable medevac operation, rescuing two injured sailors from the tanker 'Tracey Kosan' amid turbulent weather conditions off the coast of Flushing. The incident unfolded late at night when both sailors sustained serious fractures after falling during the storm. At the time, 'Tracey Kosan' was anchored in the Schouwenbank area but was urged to navigate to the Wester Scheldt due to the hazardous North Sea waves complicating the emergency response. At approximately 10:22 a.m., the Breskens station received an alarm signal, prompting the lifeboat to set out towards the tanker on Flushing roads. As 'Christien' approached, it became evident that docking at Flushing East would ensure a safer medevac. Two crew members from 'Christien' quickly boarded 'Tracey Kosan' to assess the injured sailors' condition. Once the tanker successfully docked at Bijleveld Port, the critically injured crew members were carefully transferred onto stretchers and transported to waiting ambulances for immediate medical attention. The rescuers then returned on board with the stretcher before making their way back to Breskens.
