Urgent Medivac Operation: Chief Engineer Rescued from 'Shipka' After Heart Attack
On April 12, 2025, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) in Uruguay was alerted to a medical emergency aboard the cargo vessel 'Shipka', which was en route to Nueva Palmira. The vessel reported that its 43-year-old chief engineer had been suffering from a heart attack for a distressing two hours. Prompt action was taken by the on-duty Search and Rescue (SAR) doctor, who recommended an immediate medical evacuation. In response to the urgency of the situation, two naval aircraft were dispatched from Naval Base No. 2: a Beechcraft B200 for aerial monitoring and a Leonardo AB412 helicopter designated for the actual rescue operation. Each aircraft was manned by a skilled crew including a pilot, co-pilot, doctor, and two rescue swimmers. The helicopter successfully hoisted the engineer aboard, where medical assessments were quickly conducted. Subsequently, the AB412 was on its way to the Montevideo Police Hospital. Upon arrival, the patient was safely disembarked and transported by ambulance to another healthcare facility, where he was reported to be conscious and in stable condition.
