Medevac off Atlantic Beach
A Coast Guard aircrew from Savannah, Ga., medically evacuated a crew member of the "New Pacific" who was injured on the vessel more than 200 miles east of Atlantic Beach on Feb 12, 2014. Watchstanders in the Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville command center were notified in the night the man suffered a puncture wound to the neck and was in need of medical assistance. The next morning a medic from a nearby U.S. Navy vessel, which was in the area at the time, was transferred to the freighter to assess the injured man’s condition and administer triage and medication. The sea state made a vessel-to-vessel transfer of the injured man unsafe, so a Coast Guard helicopter crew from Air Station Savannah launched in the afternoon to meet the New Pacific about 20 miles east of the St. Johns River entrance, where the man was hoisted and brought to shore. The man was flown to Naval Station Mayport, Fla., and transferred by EMS to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, in stable condition.
