The Coast Guard, working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Hawaii Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT), medically evacuated a 32-year-old Latvian crewmember from a Norwegian-flagged tank vessel near Midway Island, late Oct. 20, 2019. This case illustrates the value and importance of Coast Guard partnerships with the local agencies and connecting mariners transiting the vast Pacific with a higher level of medical care.
