An injured crew member received medical attention Wednesday from a Panamanian-flagged bulk carrier about 173 miles east of Morehead City, NC, the US Coast Guard said.
Guardsmen at the Coast Guard’s 5th District Command Center received a notification from the 200-foot vessel PRT Ace that a 29-year-old crewman on board suffered burns while using the ship’s incinerator.
The sentries launched a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City and an HC-130 Hercules aircrew and directed the ship to set a course for Morehead City.
The helicopter crew arrived on site, lifted the PRT Ace-Crewman and took him to Norfolk Sentara Hospital for further medical attention.
