ALB SHOUT 38: 04-11-2022

Incident Date04-11-2022
Launch Instruct16:00
Lifeboat UsedALB
Location of CasualtyLyme Bay area.

Launched to assist a fisherman with breathing problems 21 miles south east of Berry Head.
The Coastguard helicopter also attended but they were unsure if they could operate a winch to the trawler because of the fishing gear on deck so the plan was for the ALB to pick up the casualty and then he could be be winched from the ALB.
On arrival the helicopter had managed to do the winching safely and fly him to hospital so the ALB returned to station.
