Activists failed to blockade cruise ship

Dozens of climate activists campaigned at the 'Zuiderdam' in the center of Rotterdam on June 11, 2023, which was moored at the Cruise Terminal next to the Erasmus Bridge. Activists affiliated with Extinction Rebellion and the academic branch of that protest movement, Scientist Rebellion, climbed onto bamboo constructions on the quay. By blocking the mooring posts, they wanted to prevent the mooring lines from being disconnected. They tried to prevent the departure of the 'Zuiderdam', but they did not succeed. The vessel departed with some delay at the beginning of the evening.

Medevac off Juneau

The US Coast Guard medevaced a passenger of the 'Zuiderdam' in the Lynn Canal, approximately 30 miles northwest of Juneau, Alaska, in the evening of Sep 17, 2022. Watchstanders from the Coast Guard Sector Juneau command center received the initial request for the medevac on Sep 16 at 8:50 p.m. from staff aboard the cruise ship , reporting that the passenger was experiencing medical complications. The medical team aboard the vessel was able to stabilize the man as the ship transited to the rendezvous point. A Coast Guard Air Station Sitka MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter arrived on scene at 11:13 p.m., hoisted the 73-year-old man, and transported him to an awaiting Lifemed aircrew in Juneau for further transport.

Medevac in Cross Sound

The US Coast Guard medevaced a woman from the 'Zuiderdam' in Cross Sound, Alaska, on Aug 21, 2022. Sector Juneau command center watchstanders received a call from the medical officer aboard the cruise ship at approximately 5:00 p.m. requesting medevac of a 65-year-old female passenger experiencing loss of vision. Watchstanders coordinated the launch of an Air Station Sitka MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew to assist. The Jayhawk crew arrived on scene at 7:30 p.m., but was unable to conduct a hoist due to a dense marine layer that reduced visibility to an unsafe level. Sector watchstanders assisted in coordinating an updated rendezvous location in Sitka Sound where conditions had improved. At 10:06 p.m., the Jayhawk crew conducted the hoist at the rendezvous location and safety transferred her to awaiting emergency medical services personnel in Sitka. The passenger was last reported in stable condition. On-scene conditions were 4-foot seas and 12 mph winds.
