Injured crew member medevaced off Fehmarn
Lifeboats from Großenbrode and Heiligenhafen were called to assist a crew member of the 'Fairplay 56' on Feb 24, 2024. At around 1:15 p.m., the captain of the tug reported by radio to the MRCC of the DGzRs in Bremen that a sailor had fallen down a companionway and needed urgent medical attention. At this time the ship was around five nautical miles northwest of the island of Fehmarn. The Heiligenhafen station and the crew of the lifeboat 'Bremen' of the Großenbrode station were alerted. The lifeboats along with two emergency paramedics immediately set off to the “Fairplay-56”, which was heading towards the two boats, which rendezvoused west of Fehmarn off the Flügge lighthouse 45 minutes after the alarm was raised. The medical team first stabilized the patient aboard the tug before he was transferred onto the 'Bremen' with a stretcher. In Heiligenhafen the sailor was handed over to the land rescue service.
