Medevac off Guam

A crew member of the 'Carmel 1' in urgent need of medical care was safely evacuated from the vessel 100 nautical miles off Guam on March 2, 2024, by the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy's Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 (HSC-25). The 26-year-old Filipino was suffering from severe abdominal pains, when the ship was located 400 nautical miles northwest of Guam. The U.S. Coast Guard's Joint Rescue Sub-Center in Guam was alerted in the afternoon of March 1, while the ship was en route to Vietnam. HSC-25 mobilized to assist following a recommendation for a medevac from the U.S. Coast Guard's duty flight surgeon in Alameda, California, and concurrence from HSC-25's flight surgeon in Guam. An MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter crew from HSC-25 reached the 'Carmel 1' in the morning of March 2. The patient was then airlifted from the ship amid winds of 17 miles and 10-foot seas, and delivered to emergency medical responders from the Guam Fire Rescue at the Naval Hospital Guam. They transported him to the Guam Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
