HMAS Newcastle took two badly burnt crew members off
Australia’s Royal Navy ship HMAS "Newcastle" provided medical treatment and evacuated two badly burned Filipino merchant seamen from the "Perla" in the Somali Basin. They were injured during an engine room fire which left the tanker powerless, adrift and vulnerable to pirate attack on June 7, 2013. Heavy seas required "Newcastle"’s embarked Sea Hawk helicopter to affect the rescue which winched a three-person medical team to "Perla" to treat and recover the seriously injured men shortly after dawn on June 8. The sea conditions prevented immediate transfer of the casualties. By radio, the Medical Officer Lieutenant Natalie Boulton established the casualties were stable enough to remain onboard until conditions improved. Being in a known pirate area the "Newcastle" took up a security position for the "Perla". The specially-trained Navy medics winched onboard the merchant vessel assessed two men as seriously injured with second and third degree burns to their face, head, shoulder and hands. The third man had a second degree burn to his arm and was provided first aid by the "Newcastle"’s medics. The two serious casualties were winched to the "Newcastle"’s embarked Sea Hawk helicopter and transferred tothe embarked medical officer for treatment and stabilisation. The men were provided medical care overnight until the arrival of the Spanish Naval frigate ESPS "Numancia" joined which facilitated the evacuation of the injured men to a hospital at Port Victoria, Seychelles.
