Medevac off Limassol

A medical emergency occurred on the 'Mein Schiff 5' on the evening of June 15 in the eastern Mediterranean, requiring an immediate disembarkation. Approximately two hours after departing from Limassol, the ship was approached by a helicopter to transport the patient to a hospital on land as quickly as possible. Ahead of the medevac, the ship had adjusted its course and slowed down so that the person could be safely handed over to the helicopter crew. The helicopter then flew directly to Cyprus for medical care on a higher level. The slight delay caused by the medevac had no further consequences for the itinerary of the 'Mein Schiff 5' which has a sea day on June 16.

Medevac in Arrecife

The 'Mein Schiff 5' requested a medical evacuation in the port of Arrecife on Dec 3, 2024. The CCS Las Palmas of Salvamento Marítimo mobilized the SAR boat 'Salvamar Al Nair' to take the passenger off, as prescribed by the ship's doctor. He was taken to Puerto Naos-Arrecife, where an ambulance was waiting for the further transport to a hospital for medical care on a higher level.
