Coast Guard, Navy conduct joint rescue of crewman from research vessel Kilo Moana off Oahu
A 55-year-old crewman from the research vessel Kilo Moana arrived safely to Honolulu Tuesday following a joint medevac conducted by the Coast Guard and Navy 175 miles northeast of Kaneohe Bay. “This case illustrates the importance of our partnership with the Navy and the value of hoist capable helicopters to conduct medevacs so far offshore, allowing us to deliver mariners to a higher level of medical care in the shortest amount of time possible,” said Lt. j.g. Tim Lae, of Coast Guard Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Honolulu. A Navy MH-60 Seahawk crew from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 hoisted the crewman aboard and safely delivered him in stable condition to emergency medical personnel at Kaneohe Bay at 6:17 p.m. He was further transported by ambulance to Queens Medical Center. A Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircrew flew cover and provided additional communications for the Seahawk crew.
Kilo Moana taking on water
Coast Guardsmen were responding to a the "Kilo Moana" taking on water approximately 60 miles north of Turtle Bay, on Dec 6, 2012. At 12:15 p.m., watchstanders in Sector Honolulu were notified by crewmembers of the "Kilo Moana" that their vessel was taking on water at a rate of 400 gallons per hour from a baseball-sized hole in the hull. The cause of the damage was not known. The crew tried unsuccessfully to place a patch over the hole to stop the flooding. The vessel was continuing to take on water. Two Coast Guard rescue swimmers were lowered to the boat to assist with dewatering the vessel. Aircrews piloting an HC-130 Hercules airplane and two MH-65 Dolphin helicopters from Air Station Barbers Point were launched to assist. A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium from Station Honolulu and a 47-foot Motor Life Boat from Station Kauai were also launched to assist but were relieved by the Coast Guard Cutter "Ahi". Damage controlmen from the Ahi went aboard the "Kilo Moana" to make repairs. A Dolphin aircrew is making one final equipment delivery. The "Ahi" remained close to the "Kilo Moana" until it arrived in Honolulu Harbor. The Hercules and other Dolphin aircrews have returned to base. A total of seven pumps have been delivered to the "Kilo Moana" since the beginning of the incident. There were 20 crewmembers and 20 passengers aboard. The vessel was equipped with six 25-man life rafts, lifejackets for all aboard and reached Honolulu Harbor on Jan 7 short before midnight.
