Pakistan Navy, Maritime Security Agency provide medical assistance to Indian crew

KARACHI: The Joint Maritime Information and Coordination Center

(JMICC) of Pakistan Navy received a distress call from the Liberian-

flagged oil/chemical tanker, MT High Leader, with all Indian crew

onboard, requesting medical evacuation for one of its injured crew

members.

JMICC immediately activated its established maritime coordination

protocols to ensure a rapid and effective response.

Consequently, Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) promptly

evacuated the injured seafarer from MT HIGH LEADER and

transferred him to a local hospital in Karachi for emergency medical

care.

The successful medical evacuation is yet another testament to the

operational readiness and responsiveness of Pakistan's maritime

safety apparatus. The coordination and swift execution reflect

Pakistan Navy's resolve to fulfill its international obligations for the

safety of life at sea, regardless of the nationality of the seafarers

involved.

Pakistan Navy's JMICC serves as a central hub between all relevant

national agencies to coordinate the response to any maritime

incident.–NNI
