With the help of an RPA vessel and a pilot ladder they got on board. Two ambulance employees and three members of the KNRM boat 'Jeanine Parqui' boarded the ship for assistance and the transport of necessary medical equipment. The victim had suffered various fractures and bruises. The Hoek rescuers helped prepare the stretcher, before the patient was taken on board the lifeboat via a ship's crane. At 11 a.m. the lifeboat was moored again and the patient en route to the hospital. The container ship left Rotterdam again on Oct 13, bound to Leixoes.
