An unwell passenger on a cruise ship was airlifted to hospital in the early hours of this morning by HM Coastguard Newquay helicopter.

In the footage below, the helicopter approaches the stern of the ship whilst the large vessel lists in heavy seas – making for a challenging rescue.

The helicopter then positions itself to the starboard-aft section of the cruise-liner before winching one of its crew down to the vessel as it rolled in heavy seas.

HM Coastguard were called at around 0215 hours to help the unwell passenger on the cruise ship who urgently needed to be taken to hospital.

The HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at Newquay, with Captain Dave Crimmon, Co-Pilot Debdash Bhattacharya, Winch Operator Rob Glendinning and Winchman Niall Hanson aboard, responded to call and made their way to the cruise ship which was positioned 30nm south of Plymouth.

As seen in the video below, after arriving on scene they lowered their Paramedic Winchman onboard to treat the casualty.

They secured the man and winched him into the aircraft where he was taken to Treliske Hospital.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
