MEdevac off Cape Charles

The Coast Guard on May 6, 2013, medevaced a 46-year-old man from the "KM Osaka" while the ship was anchored near Cape Charles. The ship's agent had contacted Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads watchstanders at approximately 6:45 p.m. reporting a man broke his arm and requested a medevac. Sector Hampton Roads watchstanders diverted a crew aboard a 45-foot Response Boat from the Coast Guard Station Cape Charles to assist. The boat was underway conducting training near Kiptopeke when receiving the call. This allowed the crew to arrive on scene within approximately 15 minutes. Due to the close partnership with local emergency medical services personnel, they were waiting for the crew to return to the station, which allowed for a timely transfer of the patient to receive medical treatment. The man was taken to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in Nassawado.
