A Chinese seafarer has received a “life-saving” blood transfusion after being airlifted from a Nanjing Tanker Corp MR in the Pacific.
He was picked up from the 45,900-dwt CSC Brave (built 2007) by a US Navy helicopter squadron out of the Pacific island of Guam.
Within two hours of notification by US Coast Guard Sector Guam of the distressed mariner, a Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 25 search and rescue team had departed Andersen Air Force Base.
