Medevac off Khanh Hoa

On Feb 12, 2025, the medical evacuation of a South Korean crew member of the 'Sao Unioson' became necessary off Khanh Hoa. At 10:30 a.m. the Vietnam Maritime Search and RCC eceived an emergency call from the ship, stating sailor was suffering from a life-threatening acute appendicitis. The Center immediately dispatched the 'SAR 273' with a medical team from Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa province) on board, which examined the patient and administered first aid. However, Park Yechan's condition quickly deteriorated, with severe abdominal pain and a high risk of peritonitis. It was therefore decided to evacuate him to the mainland for urgent treatment. On Feb 13 at 02:30 a.m. the 'SAR 273' docked at Regional Centre IV Port in Nha Trang, where the patient was transferred to hospital for appropriate medical treatment.
