Man in stable condition after medevac off Darwin
The "NW Storm Petrel" on June 5, 2013, has resumed its journey from Nagoya to Dampier after an ill crew member was airlifted from a ship off the northern Australian coast and flown to hospital in Darwin. The chopper of Darwin's CareFlight after the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, arranged the rescue following a request from the ship which diverted from its course to allow the man to be flown from the ship. The Brisbane man told CareFlight flight nurse Paul Campbell he had become progressively unwell since Juune 2. The state of the ship's air-filled LNG tanks means it was not permitted to approach any closer to Darwin Harbour. Pilot John Beasy, and air crewman Daniel Warring landed on the ship's helideck to allow the flight nurse to take over treatment of the man who was flown to Royal Darwin Hospital for treatment where he remained in a stable condition on arrival.

Man evacuated from gas carrier off Darwin
A man is recovering in hospital after being evacuated from a gas carrier about 48km off the coast near Darwin. The ship Northwest Stormpetrel, which was travelling from Japan to Western Australia, put out a request for help on Tuesday night (June 04, 2013). It is understood a 56-year-old Australian crew member aboard the 272-metre vessel had a serious gut problem and needed to be evacuated. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority contacted CareFlight to arrange the rescue. CareFlight director Ian Badham said a nurse arrived at the ship on Wednesday morning and the ill man was flown in a helicopter to the Royal Darwin Hospital. Mr Badham said the man's condition was not considered as serious as first thought.
