Shipping News and information / Man airlifted from Princess of Norway
« on: September 18, 2009, 07:29:06 AM »
This happened last night  as the ferry was passing the North Shields fish quay the skipper came on the radio and asked for assistance from the pilot cutter ,as a man had a stroke.Tyne VTS asked if the person could walk , to which the Captain on the Princess said that the man was uncounscious.Tyne VTS replied with they would need the lifeboat. Humber coasyguard was called and a doctor was telling the ferry what to do with the casualtyi.e keep him in the recovery position.Humber the said they were getting the helcopter from Boulmer and it would take about 20 minutesto arrive. I then drove down to the seafront and asIi arrived I could see the helicoter racing towards the ferrry. they dropped the winchman down at approx 1900. He was onboard for about 15 minutes then the helicopter headed straight to the RVI in Newcastle.

I was wondering what this would work like if we altered the settings to accept MMSI numbers and ships names?
The  technology is all on the screen to tell you how to do it once you have accepted the results of the first search.

Just a heads up for all the locals on the Tyne:-

GOLDEN SPRING 16 Nov 2008 2:00 Arrival Antwerp ANCHORAGE Panama DAN SHIPPING 3EOP7 EST. 9363089

the ship is a big one for the Tyne, just look at the photos on this site:-

http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=770435

but on the AIS SITE it says she is a refrigerated ship and only 115 metres long, I hope the guy that programmed the AIS is not driving the ship!!

here is the info on the AISSHIPS site:-
