Medevac in Noumea
The 'Ovation of the Seas' requested the medevac of an Australian passenger on Jan 19, 2025, at around noon, who required urgent medical care. The teams of the New Caledonia Operational Surveillance and the CROSS NC responded to the ship, which was then anchored at Mystery Island, Vanuatu, 410 kilometers from Noumea. The CROSS NC held a medical conference with the crew and the Maritime Medical Consultation Centre (CCMM) in Toulouse, which confirmed the need to evacuate the passenger to a hospital within 24 hours. In conjunction with the SAMU of New Caledonia and the SNSM station in Noumea, it was decided that the ship, which was en route to Sydney, would make a detour via New Caledonia so that the passenger could be treated by the territory's medical facilities. After leaving its anchorage on the late afternoon, the vessel arrived in Noumea on Jan 20 at 5:30 a.m., where the passenger was picked up at sea by the launch 'Nautile' from the SNSM station. He was then taken care of by an ambulance at 6:20 a.m.
