Crewmember seriously injured by large wave

On Feb 18, 2013, the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre received a satellite telephone call from the captain of the "Bow Riyad", which was located approximately 210 nautical miles South East of Bermuda. The captain reported that the vessel had been struck by a large wave resulting in the serious injury to a crew member who was out on deck at the time. Following medical advice to the crew on board and due to the serious nature of the back injuries sustained by the crewmember, the Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre & U.S. Coastguard continue to monitor the status of the patient, while also planning for the possible evacuation via helicopter to Bermuda. Meanwhile, the vessel continued under full speed towards Bermuda and was due to disembark the injured crew member at 7 a.m. on Feb 20.
