Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Tenso

On April 27, 2014, at 11:40 a.m., watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector Guam command center received an alert regarding an injured crew member aboard the vessel 'Tenso'. The incident took place approximately 362 miles east of Guam, where a 39-year-old male crew member sustained significant lacerations to his neck and head, prompting the ship to request immediate medical assistance. In response, the Coast Guard Cutter Assateague coordinated a rendezvous with the 'Tenso' at 10 a.m. on April 28, where a medical corpsman was deployed to assess the injured individual's condition. Following a thorough evaluation and in consultation with a flight surgeon, it was concluded that the crew member required urgent medical evacuation by air. At around 10:30 a.m., a helicopter crew from Navy HSC-25 took off from Andersen Air Force Base. The helicopter arrived on-site and successfully hoisted the injured crew member at 11:14 a.m. The individual was then transported by Navy personnel to the U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, where emergency medical services awaited for further transfer to the Guam Memorial Hospital. This swift action underscores the importance of maritime safety and the collaboration between the Coast Guard and Navy during medical emergencies at sea.
