Medevac off Brest
On April 26, 2017, at 11:04 a.m., the CROSS Gris Nez was informed by the Maritime Medical Coordination Center of Toulouse that a crew member on board the "Le Jusant" fell ill. The patient was not in an immediate emergency, so it was decided to divert the vessel into the area of French responsibility of the CROSS Corsen for evacuation to a French hospital. At 2:22 p.m., the decision was made to evacuate the sailor by helicopter to the Brest hospital. A Cayman helicopter of the French Navy with a medical team on board was mobilized. The ship was about 211 km west of Brest. At 3 p.m., the sailor was hoisted and taken to the Cavale Blanche hospital.
