“The ship, en route from Marcus Hook, PA, USA, bound for Lavera, France in a position 440 miles east of Bermuda, was receiving radio medical advice due to an accident onboard which resulted in a seafarer having his thumb severed.
“First aid was administered and the ship diverted to Bermuda. The tanker arrived offshore on the morning of Wednesday 20th March. The casualty was transferred to the pilot/rescue boat St David for onward transportation to hospital.”
