In the unpredictable world of maritime operations, emergencies can arise at any moment, requiring prompt and precise intervention. Such a situation unfolded aboard the CMA CGM Verdi, a vessel sailing from Singapore to Djibouti, when a crew member sustained an injury that necessitated urgent medical attention. The severity of the condition demanded immediate evacuation, and with the vessel at anchorage off Vizhinjam Seaport, a well-coordinated rescue operation was crucial. Gangway Shipping C Logistics (GSL), known for its expertise in maritime emergency assistance, swiftly took charge of the situation.
As the distress call was received, Gangway Shipping C Logistics quickly arranged for a tugboat to transport the injured seafarer from the anchored vessel to the shore. Every moment mattered, and with meticulous planning, port authorities were alerted, and medical personnel were put on standby.
Upon reaching the port, an ambulance equipped with a doctor and a nurse, arranged by Team Gangway Shipping from a leading multi-specialty hospital in Thiruvananthapuram, was already waiting to provide immediate medical attention. The seamless transfer ensured the crew member received critical care without delay.
Within minutes, the injured crew member was stabilized and rushed to the hospital for further treatment. The swift intervention and expert coordination by Team Gangway Shipping turned a potential crisis into a well-managed rescue, ensuring the safety and well-being of the seafarer.
This operation was yet another testament to Gangway Shipping & Logistics’ commitment to seafarer safety, emergency responsiveness, and maritime excellence. When unexpected challenges arise at sea, we remain as the trusted partner, ready to act with speed, efficiency, and precision.
