The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) Mumbai recently received urgent information about a medical emergency on board the merchant ship “Wave,” located approximately 90 km south of Diu. The MRCC promptly alerted the Indian Coast Guard’s MRSC Porbandar to handle the situation.

Understanding the gravity of the circumstances, the Indian Coast Guard Ship C-149, on patrol in the area, was immediately redirected to assist in evacuating the patient. To ensure a seamless operation, the District Administration, State Police, Immigration, and Government Hospital were all informed about the upcoming medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).

Undaunted by the challenging sea conditions, a boarding team from the Indian Coast Guard, including medical specialists, boarded the merchant ship. The crew, all of Indonesian nationality, faced health issues such as high fever and stomachache. The skilled Medical Team swiftly stabilized the crew member, after which the patient was carefully transferred to the Indian Coast Guard ship.

The Indian Coast Guard ship is now en route to Veraval, where the patient will receive further medical treatment. This successful and professional evacuation stands as another testament to the Indian Coast Guard’s commitment to their motto, “We Protect.”
