Naval aviators and DGzRS hand in hand - running!

On 17 October, the naval aviators from Nordholz supported the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DgzRS) in a SAR mission. A seriously ill crew member of the Oslo ferry "Color Magic" was to be rescued by the sea rescuers from the DGzRS station in Laboe and was flown directly to a hospital in close cooperation with the naval aviators of the German Navy.

When she needed help, the ferry was about to leave the Kiel Fjord heading north. The German Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC Bremen) was alerted via the Norwegian control centre in Stavanger, which dispatched the rescue cruiser "Berlin" and its emergency doctor to Laboe and simultaneously requested a SAR helicopter from the German Navy. In hazy weather and a light south-westerly wind, the "Sea King" took over the doctor at sea, dropped him off on the ferry and was then able to pick up the doctor and stabilised patient and fly them to hospital.

The fact that it really works like this is also worth a post on marineforum.online!

And if you see a white and red boat, please donate! Thank you.
