Indian Coast Guard's Daring Nighttime Rescue Saves Chinese National from Vessel Amidst Harsh Conditions

The Indian Coast Guard successfully conducted a daring operation to evacuate a Chinese national from the Panama-flagged research vessel MV Dong Fang Kan Tan No 2 on Wednesday. The vessel was en route from China to the UAE when a crew member reported chest pains and symptoms of cardiac arrest, prompting the urgent need for medical attention.

 

The Indian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Mumbai received the distress call, sparking a swift and coordinated response. Immediate communication was established with the vessel, and essential telemedicine advice was provided. To ensure rapid evacuation and proper medical care, the decision was made to airlift the patient.

 

The CG ALH MK-III helicopter, operated by the Indian Coast Guard, was instrumental in executing the operation. Overcoming the challenges of the night and extreme weather conditions, the helicopter successfully evacuated the patient from the vessel, which was located approximately 200 kilometers off the mid-sea.

 

Upon evacuation, the patient received essential first aid and was subsequently handed over to medical professionals for further treatment. The efficiency and effectiveness of the operation underscored the dedication of the Indian Coast Guard to their motto, "We Protect."

 

This daring rescue mission exemplifies the commitment of the Indian Coast Guard to safeguarding lives at sea, even when faced with adverse circumstances. The operation was a testament to the Coast Guard's preparedness, training, and readiness to respond promptly to emergencies.
