Passenger Evacuated From Explorer Of The Seas
A passenger aboard the Explorer of the Seas was medically evacuated following a coordinated emergency response by Bermuda Maritime Operations and local emergency services.
A Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre spokesperson said, “Bermuda Maritime Operations [BMOC], operating as RCC Bermuda, received a call from passenger Vessel “Explorer of The Seas” reporting a medical emergency involving a passenger onboard.
“The vessel which was already scheduled to call at Bermuda, made best speed towards the island. During the day, BMOC coordinated arrangements with the ship’s local agent, Bermuda Pilots, the Bermuda Hopsital Boards and emergency medical services.
“The pilot boat St. David met the vessel offshore shortly before 03:00 am on Tuesday, 10 November. Because of heavy swells, the ship and the pilot boat repositioned closer to the sea buoy to find more sheltered conditions for a safe transfer. The patient, escorted by ship’s medical team, was transferred to the pilot boat and landed at Ordnance Island, where an ambulance was waiting. The ship’s medical team then accompanied the patient to KEMH and handed over care to hospital staff.”
