Chief engineer medevaced
On the morning of April 12, 2025, the MRCC in Uruguay received a call from the 'Shipka', bound for the Uruguayan port of Nueva Palmira, stating that the 43-year-old chief engineer had suffered a heart attack that had been ongoing for two hours. The on-duty Search and Rescue (SAR) doctor advised to medevac the man quickly. Two naval aircraft were immediately deployed for the task, a Beechcraft B200 to monitor, and a Leonardo AB412 helicopter to hoist the patient. Both units departed from Naval Base No. 2 with a crew consisting of a pilot, a co-pilot, a doctor, and two rescue swimmers. After the patient was pulled aboard, the appropriate tests are performed, and the AB 412 set off for the Montevideo Police Hospital. The patient is disembarked at the hospital and then transported by ambulance to another health facility, where he arrived conscious and stabilized.
