Princess Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On February 9, at precisely 2:15 p.m., the Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij (KNRM) was called into action to conduct a medical evacuation from the offshore vessel 'Princess'. This ship had just departed from Rotterdam at 11:45 a.m. heading offshore in a westerly direction when an onboard incident resulted in a crew member sustaining injuries. Due to challenging weather conditions, with wind gusts ranked at 8-9 Beaufort, the decision was made to transfer the patient in the calmer waters of the Waterweg. The KNRM launched the lifeboat 'Jeanine Parqui' (MMSI: 246333000) from its station in Rotterdam, ensuring a swift and safe transfer for the injured individual. Upon arrival back at the Berghaven in Rotterdam around 2:45 p.m., the patient was promptly handed over to an ambulance team for immediate medical care. The 'Princess' had been anchored at RTM Anchorage N, located at coordinates 52° 6.51' N and 003° 53.10' E since January 10, highlighting the often-unpredictable nature of maritime operations in the area.
