Medevac off Oregon Inlet
The US Coast Guard medevaced an injured crewman from the "Dalian Express" approximately 170 miles east of Oregon Inlet, North Carolina on Feb 20, 2015. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard 5th District Command Center in Portsmouth, Virginia, received a report from the vessel on Feb 19 about 4 p.m., stating a 62-year-old male crewmember suffered an eye injury while changing a valve in the engine room approximately 350 miles east of Oregon Inlet. To enable a medevac, the crew of Dalian Express, en route to Italy from Norfolk, changed course toward North Carolina to meet with a Coast Guard helicopter crew. A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew and C-130 Hercules aircraft crew launched Friday from Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, at approximately 5:45 a.m. The crews flew through intermittent snow and icing conditions before arriving at the "Dalian Express" about 6:45 a.m. The helicopter crew hoisted the injured man and transported him to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, arriving at about 9 a.m.
