Medevac after trousers got caught in spindle
A 29-year-old man was medevaced from the "Dreggen" approximately 130 miles south of Southwest Pass in the Gulf of Mexico on Sep 6, 2012. The chief mate, an Indian national and resident of Destrehan, reportedly injured his groin after his trousers got caught in a spindle while working aboard the tanker. The Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a satellite phone call at 1:38 a.m. from the Dreggen and directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-65C Dolphin helicopter and crew. The aircrew safely hoisted the crewman onto a stokes litter and transported him to West Jefferson Medical Center in Marrero. The chief mate is reportedly in stable condition.
