Medevac off Rotterdam

On Aug 8, 2017, at 8.50 a.m. the "Eems Dart" alerted the Dutch Coastguard after a 35 year old Russian crew member needed treatment in hospital. The man had more than 39º fever since the previous morning and seemed to have trouble with his bile. The "Eems Dart" was anchored near the Goeree. The KNRM was alerted, and the patient boarded the lifeboat "Jeanine Parqui" at 9.45 a.m. The return trip went smoothly and the patient even seemed to get rid of his pain. After arriving at the Berg Port at 10.15 a.m., the man was taken to Rotterdam's Port Hospital in Rotterdam for further treatment.
