The NSRI Table Bay duty crew, accompanied by a Western Cape emergency rescue service (EMS) paramedic, launched the sea rescue craft "Spirit of Vodacom" just before noon and rendezvoused with the car carrier to medevac the ship’s engineer, suffering a stroke. On arrival on the scene the patient was assessed by the EMS rescue paramedic and found to be suffering a mild stroke.
