Mariner Medevaced from Antwerpen Express Off Saipan
A 37-year-old Filipino mariner was medically evacuated from the 1,202-foot Germany-flagged container ship Antwerpen Express on Feb. 9, 2024, after showing symptoms indicative of a stroke. The Coast Guard's Joint Rescue Sub-Center in Guam was alerted on the evening of Feb. 6, when the ship was about 550 nautical miles northeast of Saipan. After a duty flight surgeon recommended a medevac, U.S. Navy Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 responded. An HSC-25 MH-60S Knighthawk crew reached the ship on the morning of Feb. 9, about 50 miles off Saipan. The mariner was hoisted in 7-foot seas and 16 mph winds, then handed over to Guam Fire Rescue at Naval Hospital Guam. Guam Fire Rescue transported him to Guam Memorial Hospital in stable condition.  ·  ·
