Fisherman Rescued in Swift Operation 60 km Off Diu by ICGS Pipavav
In a swift and coordinated operation, the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) successfully evacuated a critically ill fisherman from a fishing vessel off the coast of Diu. The rescue operation was carried out after a distress call was received from the Indian Fishing Boat (IFB) Dhan Prasad (Regd No. IND-GJ-14-0597), which was approximately 60 km southeast of Diu.
According to a Defence Ministry release, ICGS Pipavav promptly diverted ICGS C-419 to respond to the emergency call. The Coast Guard vessel quickly reached the location and safely transferred the ailing fisherman onboard.
After the rescue, the patient was provided with first-aid on the vessel. The ship then proceeded to RNEL Jetty in Pipavav, where a Station Medical Officer conducted a thorough check of the fisherman’s vitals.
The critically ill patient was subsequently transferred to a local hospital in Rajula for further medical treatment, accompanied by his family members. The latest reports indicate that the condition of the patient is stable.
The operation highlights the quick response and efficiency of the Indian Coast Guard in handling medical emergencies at sea, ensuring the safety and well-being of seafarers even in remote locations.
