After the ship spoke directly with a doctor ashore it was recommended that the master be brought ashore for medical attention. The assistance of Margate’s all-weather lifeboat was requested and was soon underway to the vessel. A local paramedic, a member of the lifeboat’s crew, was also on board the lifeboat. Once alongside the vessel, the casualty was embarked onto the lifeboat and brought back to Margate where he was handed into the care of the South East Coast Ambulance Service and taken to QEQM Hospital in Margate.
