Medevac off Marsh Island

The US Coast Guard medevaced a 34-year-old crewmember from the 'Seven Arctic' 167 miles off Marsh Island, Louisiana, on July 5, 2022. Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a call around 3 p.m. from the vessel of a crewmember suffering from appendicitis-like symptoms. Coast Guard District Eight watchstanders assumed the lead on the case and coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Aviation Training Center HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew and a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-65 Dolphin aircrew to assist. The Ocean Sentry aircrew provided a cover flight and relayed information between the Dolphin aircrew and D8 watchstanders. The Dolphin aircrew arrived on scene, landed on the vessel, and transferred the crew member to the University Medical Center in New Orleans. He was last reported to be in stable condition.
