The patrol boat 'Potsdam' of the Federal Police received a radio message from the sailing yacht at around 3:30 a.m. The sailing yacht requested medical assistance because a crew member was complaining of severe chest pain. The 'Potsdam' was within range of the "Josephina" at the time and immediately offered its help to the MRCC Bremen. The nearby 'Costa Favolosa' was also involved in the responsce. The ship attempted to ferry its doctor on board the sailing yacht. Due to the weather conditions, however, the cruise ship was unable to transfer hun onto the sailing vessel with its tender boat.

Together they managed to stabilize the patient and transport him onto the 'Potsdam'. A helicopter with an emergency doctor on board that had landed on police vessel in the meantime took over the patient and flew him to a hospital. The inspection boat of the "Potsdam" then brought the ship's doctor back onto the cruise ship. Report with photo: https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/70260/5818473
