Supply ship diverts to island after crew member falls sick
A Canadian supply ship turned to Bermuda this week to get a crew member medical assistance.
According to a recent incident report, on Monday afternoon RCC Bermuda was contacted by Meyer Shipping and told that the Atlantic Condor had diverted to the island after a Canadian crew member suffered abdominal pains.
“The ship was on passage from Vancouver, Canada, to St John’s, Newfoundland,” the report said.
“At around 7.30am the next day, the supply vessel arrived offshore and the patient was safely transferred from the ship ashore to Ordnance Island by the pilot/rescue boat St David and subsequently transported by ambulance to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.”
The vessel remained offshore and the crew member was able to return to the ship at 4pm yesterday after receiving treatment.
The Atlantic Condor has since continued on its scheduled journey to Canada.
