Medevac off St. Davids Head

The RNLI St Davids volunteer lifeboat was paged on May 4, 2023, at 12:05 p.m. after the 'Regal Princess' requested assistance to extract a passenger suffering from a medical issue. Both the ALB 'Norah Wortley' and the Coastguard Rescue helicopter 187 were requested to attend, with the helicopter being the preferred extraction option. The 'Norah Wortley' arrived alongside the cruise ship 20 nautical miles northwest of St. Davids Head, almost midpoint between Wales and Ireland. The helicopter had arrived shortly before the lifeboat and the winchman was already on the ship as the lifeboat came alongside. The St. Davids crew stood by whilst both the casualty and partner were winched safely aboard the helicopter. With winching operations concluded the helicopter took the casualty directly to hospital and the lifeboat returned to station, rehousing at approximately 2:30 p.m. Report with photo: https://rnli.org/news-and-media/2023/may/05/st-davids-rnli-called-to-cruise-ship-in-st-georges-channel
