Crew member died on board

Aboard the 'Nicolas-Jérémy' which was off the coast of the Côte d’Opale, Dunkirk, on March 13, 2024, the fisherman Ludovic Caloin, 51, died following a heart attack. The ship requested medical assistance from the CROSS Gris-Nez after he suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest. The CROSS then established a telephone conference between the maritime medical consultation center in Toulouse, the maritime medical coordination ambulance in Le Havre and the ship. A medical evacuation by helicopter was recommended, and the CROSS Gris-Nez deployed the Dauphin helicopter of the French Navy base in Le Touquet, reinforced by a medical team from the mobile emergency and maritime resuscitation service from the Boulogne-sur-Mer hospital. The medical team was dropped off aboard the trawler. Despite the cardiac massage provided by the crew and the intervention of emergency services, the victim could not be resuscitated. The sailor was declared dead by the medical team before being brought ashore at the port of Dunkirk.
