On August 4, a coordinated rescue effort took place off the Rostock coast when the fishing vessel 'Condor' called for assistance due to an ill crew member. The situation unfolded seven miles from Warnemuende, leading to a quick response from the rescue vessel 'Seeadler' and the lifeboat 'Arkona' from Warnemuende. The two-man crew aboard the 'Condor', originally from Burgstaaken, utilized their VHF radio to request urgent medical help. As the 'Arkona' made its way to the scene, the 'Seeadler' remained alongside the stricken fishing vessel. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) was launched from the 'Seeadler' to execute the medevac. The fisherman received immediate medical treatment, including oxygen, during the transfer. Within just 20 minutes, he was successfully taken to Warnemuende and handed over to a waiting ambulance for further care.
