US Coast Guard crews medically evacuated a 78-year-old man suffering from chest pains from the 'Evrotas' near Ambrose Channel, New Jersey, on Sep 12, 2018. Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector New York command center received notification at approximately 9:30 p.m., stating a crewmember needed medical attention aboard the tanker. A conference call between the Coast Guard flight surgeon and the ship’s doctor determined that a Station Sandy Hook rescue crew was the best option for an evacuation. At approximately 12:15 a.m., the 47-foot Motor lifeboat rescue crew and emergency medical technicians from the National Park Service arrived on scene, transferred the man, and transported him to awaiting EMS at Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook for transfer to Monmouth County Medical Center. The man’s current medical condition was stable.
