The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) has completed yet another rescue mission from the BOS 400 wreck near Sandy Bay.
The National Sea Rescue Institute has completed yet another rescue mission from the BOS 400 wreck near Sandy Bay.
NSRI Station 2 was initially alerted, but as they prepared to launch, the duty crew of NSRI Station 8, which had previously launched to assist a sinking fishing vessel, were activated to assist because their response time would be faster.The standard operating procedure for these types of calls is for a paramedic to arrive at the scene, determine the level and mechanism of injury, stabilise the casualty , and then extract and recover to base.
The student was stabilised and secured to a specialised stretcher before being floated to an NSRI rescue craft, from which he was transported to Station 8 and then to the hospital. He went on to say that the superstructure is deteriorating and has been observed to move around with the currents and winter storm sets, so if it is seen in one spot, it has most likely moved since the previous year.
