Medevac in Kirkwall

The 'Mein Schiff 7' had to interrupt the departure maneuver in Kirkwall on the evening of Sep 30, 2024, due to a medical emergency on board the ship. The captain postponed the departure time indefinitely because the patient had to be handed over to land first. At the time of the information about the medical emergency on board, the preparatory work for departure was underway with the release of the lines by port employees. The ship was moored firmly to the pier again until an ambulance arrived at the pier a few minutes later. The patient was handed overwithin a few minutes and was then being cared for in a hospital. Only a slight delay resulted from the emergency. The 'Mein Schiff 7' finally left the port oat around 7:10 p.m. local time. The ship was originally scheduled to depart for Hamburg at 6:30 p.m. with an ETA as of Oct 3.
