SEA RESCUE - Tough Wind & Waves | Full Documentary

Marine

rescue

rs for generations have been risking their lives for semen day and night and in all weather conditions. Their motto we head to the sea when others seek a safe haven. Of course, these are difficult situations. Their mission is to help in any situation. It will be gone in another five minutes the training is as realistic as possible the sometimes extremely dangerous missions these are forces you cannot define the hermann hems is a 27.5 meter search and

rescue

cruiser stationed at cook's hoffen it operates in the north sea the crew a close-knit community it's like kids sharing an apartment daily life enjoying the calm before the storm we try to do everything possible it's at night a strong

wind

sounds the alarm for the search and rescue cruiser helmand hems helmsman t- movie and his team are preparing for their mission the team is experienced one person mans the bridge below another is waiting for the emergency doctor who will be urgently needed today at sea ship engineer kai goes to the engine room where he turns on the powerful engines of more than three thousand horsepower caused the rudder and the chickens to tremble the powerful engines accelerate the ship and keep it on a safe course the systems have turned on the emergency lights on the dock the emergency doctor arrives by ambulance it is the emergency doctor City hospital guard Hermann hens set sail The orders from the bridge are clear and apply to everyone, including the cameraman, turn off the light I can't see if the helmsman is blind, it causes serious danger The radar shows large ships on the way to Hamburg there is not much room for evasive maneuvers the emergency doctor also receives a life jacket he still does not know what awaits him the emergency call was received by radio according to the fire brigade or the rescue coordination center a patient recently operated on he has burst wounded and is bleeding seriously ten miles to the destination the hermann helms sets his course the engines are running as the search and rescue cruiser moves through the dark knight the first thing you think about is what the sea is like what the weather is like and then of course you start to think about the case you don't know much a small sports boat is rocking between the

waves

an injured woman who needs urgent assistance is on board the sea is rough tonight the crew was surprised the

wind

is very stormy with gusts today could They left in Wind Forest two or three when they felt safe and then reached six or seven.

Weather like this is not a problem for the Hammond Hems, but it does complicate the mission. The plan remains to bring the injured woman on board. Helmond hems and treat her there, we have the first aid support team spread out here so we can give you basic care easily. We doctors also carry strong painkillers that are personally delivered to us, so in this specific case we can provide treatment immediately here at the table. If necessary, what is planned and what is possible are not necessarily the same thing out here. The sea sets the rules. Going out to sea when others seek refuge is the motto of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Association.

For more than 150 years, the members of the association risked their lives for semen initially they set out in rowboats when help was needed the marine rescuers braved the wind and

waves

with the simplest equipment not everyone returned so only one person was on board in the bow of the boat giving orders to the helmsman in a title that still exists today marine rescuers still rely on their own abilities and their own material the boats are custom made with quite unique features they are built at the phasma shipyard near bremen this is where holger freisel works as marine engineer and rescuer is planning the next generation of search and rescue cruisers.

What's special about our boats is that they are relatively fast and very seaworthy, which means they have to be shaped to move quickly and rough seas to get where our help is needed, so they have to be light, stable and fast enough everything that goes against ensuring that they are seaworthy breakers and extremely rough seas are often an integral part of maritime rescue missions shipbuilders avoid using the term unsinkable, it does not exist, which also applies to search and rescue. However, the ships have a special feature that very few other ships possess: they can all capsize completely and then roll over again, that is also put to the test as shown here, but no one wants to experience it, hope

y the crew will be has fastened the four-point seat belt. so they can move forward with the boat, the interesting thing about the engines is that the oil does not stay in the sump when they are upside down, normally the engine would shut down, so we have a button that we can use to disable the safety. devices for the engines you can tell in advance that the weather is so bad that it is not a surprise if I, as a boss, have an automatic function that could turn something off and I don't need it, I have to remember to turn it on it started well in advance and here it is is building the next-generation search and rescue cruiser.

It still looks like a shiny giant about 28 meters long and is made entirely of aluminum, but the boat only has a draft of two meters and the secondary boats are also made entirely of aluminum. aluminum with a length of eight meters are designed for rough seas also later the screw will be introduced through the shaft with the motor supplying around 4000 horsepower to the propellers there is no room for errors this work has an accuracy of between medium and one millimeter is then finely tuned to two or three hundredths of a millimeter, this is how precisely the shafts must be aligned from the propeller and through the transmission to the engine, not only the shaft involves precision work, this is the wheelhouse where the ship is effectively controlled at this time. all you can see is the scaffolding ahead we will be looking towards the foredeck the walls around the windows are 10 millimeters thick the windows will be 19 millimeters thick that also includes the tilt of the corners where breaking waves are anticipated when Let's get there There are really big waves with a swell of six meters and they rise up to about 10 meters in the breakers.

Tons of water hit the foredeck and can also reach here and this structure has to be able to withstand that which looks for hairline cracks. with a mirror they can turn out to be disastrous later the engineer has to check everything precisely the boat has to withstand enormous forces, especially the bow, these are forces that you cannot define once I was on board when we crashed on an unexplored sandbank at 20 knots anyway, the sister ship or rather the previous ship could certainly withstand that, yes the crew, but not the dishwasher, lost the door and the entire inside of the outer skin consists of two walls, so the boat can still sail even when it leaks thanks to its special design only a small part floods a search and rescue cruise like this has an eight-figure price tag like everything the association does the new construction is funded by donations the planning It takes about a year to build, as Joiger Fraser says he will have personally touched virtually every part of the finished ship, unlike a freighter which is basically a hollow cavity for cargo and is easy to build, we have a lot of technology in a reduced space, such as the secondary ship system, the folding stern, the automatic stern launch system, the electronic configuration and implement that is the essence of special shipbuilding a quiet morning at cook's hoffen the search and rescue cruiser hermann hems is in its birth helmsman timovik and his crew are beginning their active daytime search and rescue service sar is written on the bow and is the search and rescue mandate in germany's territorial waters the coastal zone is similar to a maritime highway, So the tasks and missions of maritime rescuers are so diverse that they can involve large ships in difficulty or with an injured person on board, but smaller ships also rely on search and rescue and their fleet is never boring.

Every mission is different although everything sounds the same a yacht is on land or a boat has engine damage the situations are always different the weather the sea level the currents are different here in elba you also deal with a lot of commercial transport it is a search and rescue cruise 27.5 meters in length. The boat glides power

y and quickly over the water in calm seas and also in strong seas like this other search and rescue cruise. If there is a fire, the crew mans the giant water cannons. each can spray eighteen thousand liters of water per minute the pressure is enormous due to thrust alone the cruise ship is now traveling at more than 10 kilometers per hour the north sea is far from calm here the hermann hems is heading to helgoland the ship It has to withstand one meter high waves and gale wings, which is what it was built for.

Yes, this is the lower wheelhouse, but we usually control the boat from above because we can see the people in the water better from up there and secondly, the boat is more underwater than on top when the weather is bad down there alone we have water in the windows here we have clear view windows, that's the only way we can see anything. Steel shutters protect the ship from heavy breakers. Everything on board is fixed in place including the pot could become a projectile in rough seas the crew also has to fasten their seat belts in stormy weather here is the lower wheelhouse seat with its seat belts it makes sense in seas with waves of six to eight meters that are quite violent and then you go into free fall if your seat belt is not fastened you can smash your head against the roof on board everyone is clear about their tasks the helmsman teemo vic is in command anna frozen is also a navigator and can steer the ship or the ship son hoss trouba is more of a technician and right hand man and the cape of the kai ship is below deck the engine room the steel shines the engines certainly don't look decades old we are the most important, for Of course, because this would not work without us, otherwise they would not be able to move anything and many things move in the engine room more than 3000 horsepower give the boat the necessary power the reason for this cleanliness is simple it makes leaks are visible when you look at the bilges everything is clean you can spot an oil leak right away we We can see something is wrong and we need to fix it.

The Hammond rudders only take a few minutes to undertake a mission because the engines are always at operating temperature and, when forward, are always preheated, which is normal for our heating system. and the entire ship is preheated to about 40 degrees Celsius the engine is the heart of the search and rescue cruise the machines have to be reliable and work even in the most extreme situations that also includes missions with air support because when speed is crucial The Marine rescuers call helicopters. Naval Air Wing 5 is stationed near Cook's Hoffen outside. The plane is being prepared inside. Mission briefing is underway.

Final details are being provided today. The helicopter will meet the hems. The maneuvers are planned. the coast weather conditions are particularly important air temperature 10 to 12 degrees Celsius water temperature a little more than 10 around 11 degrees freezing level 0-9-0 we talk about conditions and weather we address problems and discuss details of the entire flight again to rule out misunderstandings why this is so difficult no joke we discuss the flight in all seriousness the hermann homes goes to sea the maneuvers with the german army helicopter are routine but still risky the helicopter approaches a few meters from the boat and everything is moving the weather and the current are always different the helicopter only has to deal with the wind but we have the wind the downdraft and the current to deal with the procedure is always the same but the conditions in the water varies the helicopter is a king of the sea the four-man crew knows and trusts each other we all trust each other no matter what our position on board the two pilots in front the navigator or the flight engineer we all have to completely trust each other Because we depend on each other, we all want to get home safely.

Hermann Hems arrives at the target area. The T-movie helmsman controls the boat from the bridge and keeps his eyes fixed on his surroundings and instruments, although this is an exercise. one mistake could prove fatal we are here in the vauden sea it might seem like we could go anywhere but 200 meters in this direction and it is over the water it is too shallow so we have to split up noIt's so good when the helicopter hovers over us and we suddenly run aground when we are reversing at four or five miles an hour, then the helicopter might hit our mast, kind of a signal, there are some problems, the sea king goes up to heaven, the helicopter will arrive in a few minutes, will everything be okay? hermann helms sails through the elbe estuary near cook's hoffen the final preparations are underway this ship is waiting for the german army helicopter the two crews want to practice various maneuvers with the heavy helicopter hovering just a few meters above the ship we have to pick up quickly increase speed and move back if something happens so that the helicopter can turn forward if we stay still the downdraft would be too violent so the boat would move away things are always different depending on the situation the wind and current come from different directions and the water depths are different, it is never boring, the king of the sea flies over Hermann's hems at low altitude the communication is by radio and very soon also by sight, we usually start by lowering a weight to our four decks and then a person to whom the navigation is now directed directly the hammond doubles the flightthe engineer is located at the side door the soldier will control the electric winch maintains visual contact with the ship and communicates with the pilot by radio on deck the host cherbourne and anna frozen are preparing for the maneuver their most important tool during the exercise is a wooden pole with a metal arm and a ground wire without it they risk receiving an electric shock the shock in the air produces voltage we put ground everything so that it does not pass over the feet and body of a person when it descends final arrangements by radio two quarters of the stern and we are ready the helicopter performs its first maneuver total concentration between the pilots and the crew at the helm in the hands the helicopter He gets very close to the ship's helm when T-Movie moves the Hammond hems into position and puts the engines on deceleration.

A stern. A soldier is lowered from the helicopter. The foredeck appears small. This is where he has to land. The Hammond hems are inverted slightly. the pilot continues with the helicopter and keeps the sea king in position only then can the soldier reach the foredeck precision work in the air and on the water the helmsman of the movie t stays on course and keeps his eyes on the instruments the depth gauge is crucial now if the ship reaches a sandbank and stops abruptly the helicopter will fly towards the mast the search and rescue cruiser retreats slightly the soldier is suspended in the air but is almost there, just a few meters away the bow deck of the helicopter, the technician is sitting on the electric winch, he determines the speed and direction of the load, almost there, hoss sherbal and anifreze grab the soldier with the ground cable. first so that no one receives an electric shock then they release him from his harness the helicopter remains in a waiting position the soldier will soon climb back up but not only this is a classic rescue maneuver in which an assistant carries a second person climbs into the helicopter on deck the final details are discussed the pilot and helmsman t-movie maintain their course the sea king is only floating a few meters above the ship because they are both in motion the helicopter's engines are cooled by the headwind anna has frozen now joined the soldier and will soon ascend in the helicopter a second soldier now controls the electric winch under their uniforms all soldiers wear survival suits that keep them warm and afloat for hours, but a maneuver that ends in the water is still a disaster ane friso leaves they both quickly get out of the boat anefrusa is wearing a chest harness and is secured the soldier is also holding him with his legs that stabilizes them both in the air which is important when they are hanging from the steel cable the helicopter It is now floating about 20 meters above the foredeck of the Hammond Hems and slightly to the side of the Hammond Hems in the air.

The crew monitors the maneuver higher up. Anifroza is hanging from the steel cable with the soldier. They almost made it now that they arrive. Getting into the helicopter is simple, they did it. Sea rescuer Anna Frieza is in the air for now, the helicopter flies off for an aerial maneuver and will drop off the sea rescuer again when she returns. A successful maneuver. Flying isn't really my thing. Why not? The thing up there is vibrating quite a bit and you're hanging helplessly from the cable. I'm going to see that it's much more my thing. The exercise is over but the marine rescuers' day is far from over.

An uncertain night awaits you, reacting in seconds and working. In any situation, that is what characterizes sea rescuers and has saved the lives of many people. He is on his way to work. The shrimp fisherman often leaves very early in the morning and remains at sea for several days. His profession is sometimes It's

tough

but Gordon Mavis is his own master in his own cutter it's a family tradition and his dream job my grandfather was a fisherman and my father also had his own company here when I was a child I knew that one day I would take over the company Gordon Mavis has never been afraid he knows the sea and nothing ever happened until one day in April 2014 when everything changed, all the nets were out when the boats suddenly tilted to one side.

I will never forget April 29. It's etched in my mind that we were in this canal where my father used to fish and that day the boat somehow turned slightly to the side, it's nothing unusual when fishing, the fisherman was familiar with the area he wasn't worried about yet, no matter what. However, I tried to raise the stabilizer and noticed that the winch was working. problems and the boat suddenly listed I realized there must be something heavy on it the cutter tilted to one side in seconds maybe the net got caught on the sea floor Gordon Mephis didn't stand a chance in seconds the cutter capsized towards The port side Gordon Memphis and his crew were fighting for their lives on the other side of the Elbe estuary.

T-movie was serving in the hem of hands that day. Remember exactly that was two years ago. The fishing boat in the Wadden Sea was about six miles from his source. his net was caught and capsized in seconds set three minutes after the alert in the cold north sea life or death is a matter of seconds and it also depends on when the right decisions are made wading in the north sea is peculiar in In many places the water is very shallow and Hammond Hems could not reach the capsized ship, so the daughter ship, Beena, was launched.

The Hermann helms have a draft of 2.1 meters, the daughter boat has 80 centimeters. Ships often run aground in the Wadden Sea. We use beans on the son ship. boat in shallow water the hermann hems at full speed helmsman t-movie knew that every second counted in the cold water of the north sea gordon mephis was fighting for his life i radioed mayday or tried to then i wanted to get out but the water was already I was running in there was nothing I could do I couldn't escape the hammond hems it didn't take long to reach the accident site there were people in the water every second counted the secondary boat was prepared to launch during the approach the two man crew was when a split navigator and an engineer go with the daughter boat and a navigator and an engineer stay at the hermann rudder the hook secures bena it is triggered the launch only takes a few seconds with the engine running the daughter boat slides I jumped into the water before heading towards the capsized ship at a speed of up to 18 knots or more than 30 kilometers per hour.

I got up while we were capsizing when the boat was upside down. I was out in the water, of course, you're in shock and then. It was already coming and when we saw them yes, the photos of the overturned boat show the desperate situation, the boat is completely on its side Gordon Mephis had almost lost hope when the rescuers arrived sir, what's going through your mind, anyway I don't have idea nah gordon Mephis needs some time after the accident, the memories are still fresh and his joy is gone, but today he has recovered, he has a new clipper and he is enjoying his job again, partly because he knows he is not alone there Outside, like I said, if it weren't for the association I wouldn't be sitting here it would be history and that's a fact Gordon Mephis owes his life to the sea rescuers the water in the North Sea is cold whoever falls overboard is in a real problem jens kofal is a doctor who has participated in more than a hundred missions with marine rescuers, he has experienced a lot during this time when a man overboard sounds, it is always a threat to life, the response to cold shock is Active immediately when a person falls into cold water, blood pressure rises and they begin to hyperventilate or breathe. quickly if there is a swell you can immediately have water in your lungs this response lasts about two or three minutes and then slowly decreases if you have survived you try to stay afloat by swimming but that becomes increasingly difficult because the nerves and muscles begin to close and if you don't have a survival aid a buoyancy aid you will drown fact gordon mayfis was lucky he clung to the ship and the maritime rescuers arrived on time he did everything right if you are far away in the siege try to hold on to a floating object and hold on until he is rescue if you are with other people you should gather and hold on to each other if you are close to the shore and there is no rescuer in sight or any floating object If you do not have a life jacket and you have survived the initial phases, you can decide to risk swimming until the shore, although we know that people who can swim well in warm water are not good in cold water, cold water has been fatal for many people there.

There have been tragic accidents like the wife who tied her husband to the side of the boat, threw him a line and sailed into port, but she had been towing a dead husband, so it is best not to fall into the water, that is. the most important thing for marine rescuers. and those who want to become one receive their training here it is difficult and pushes many people to the limit when the going gets

tough

the sea is ruthless it is actually the basic training course for every marine rescuer they join us from completely different professions I am a tax investor in Lower Saxony.

This is a complete change from what I do every day. I have been with the marine rescuers for six months. This is the first course I've taken, no matter if you're a newcomer or a veteran. The training is strenuous and realistic physical condition is a must. The dangers at sea are countless and include leaks, but how do you seal something when water enters the boat from the outside at very high pressure? The marine rescuers push against the water with all their might, but that alone is not enough to seal the leak, all I can do is push something into the opening to minimize water entry, giving me more time to future actions.

Course participants stuff foam material, blankets, life jackets, anything they can find in the holes. how to buy valuable time in an emergency does it work the leak is under control that was really interesting it was amazing how much water can flow through a hole like that at high pressure and it was a challenge to plug the leak but it was a lot of fun that can really happen and It is an important experience and exercise that you must have had to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Design is not always as easy as it seems.

Marine rescuers are equipped with the latest technology and even use rocket launchers. them to shoot life preservers at boats in danger the recoil is enormous the rocket with the rope flies about 30 meters I throw a thin line at the boat in danger and then I can attach a long line to it like a tow line and take it to the boat release it, The rope moves with force and seconds later the rocket reaches the target. Every maritime rescuer is also a firefighter because a fire on board can quickly end in a catastrophe. Each maritime rescuer receives basic training and firefighting, including choosing the appropriate fire.

The fire extinguisher is important because helping can be fatal. CO2 can smother fire, but it can also have the same effect on rescuers if handled incorrectly. It is dangerous in small, crowded spaces. We have used CO2 and it displaces oxygen but it doesn't end up on the floor, although it looks quite dangerous, the conditions at the training site are perfect, there is rarely so much space on a mission, you won't find a perfect space like this anywhere else , there will be angles and edges, so if you have to put out a fire you will have to go around the corners fires are lit and put out each participant has to complete each exercise there is always a danger so you have to anticipate and face it the true element of the marine rescuer is the water, that's where they are.

At home they have to know what they are doing to survive. It is often cold, but their clothing protects them. I carry an extra jumpsuitunder the suit. The lining is dry and warm. These neoprene collars on the neck and wrists keep the suit dry inside. Good, but the suit only offers warmth and protection if worn correctly, as some of the participants will find that the life rafts automatically inflate in the water, but are not easy to get into. Staying together in the water is crucial to survival. because it is much easier to detect a whole group than an individual, whoever is left alone has little chance of surviving, that is why marine rescuers practice staying together in the water, overcoming their own fears is also part of the training, it is very far of the key wall climbing is exhausting but without waves it is much easier than at sea mistakes are still forgiven here at sea they could prove fatal we have our signal in vain there is water on the legs obviously this suit was not fully buttoned when we started in Anyway, now I carry a couple of kilos of water to rescue, extinguish, recover, the whole training program has to become second nature, so it is available in a fraction of a second when needed, anyone can initially become maritime salvager, the majority are volunteers and a few hundred permanent. employees search and rescue is independent, funded exclusively through donations and the staff is made up of very special people see the rescuers stay calm they serve a cause and are part of a team no one is going to get rich here when you are in the sea ​​on a mission you get four euros 60 Now search and rescue cruisers are special ships for rougher seas on a port mission.

They are also the crew's home and the men's dormitory in a very small space. The chemistry has to be perfect. Everything will be fine. It's like guys. sharing a flat we are together 24 hours a day for 14 days if there is a bad apple there it is of no use that is why everyone has a week of testing on board before being recruited we check whether or not they make the team Outside, the crew is making the form of the pierced ship. It is supposed to look good and offer marine rescuers a pleasant atmosphere. It's never boring here.

We are trying to keep everything clean and tidy because after all, it is our home away from home. Together for six months and so on. You try to make things as pleasant as possible, everyone is in a bad mood from time to time, but over time they get to know each other and know how to handle things after missions and exercises, the Hermann Hems They carry fuel on board and occasionally also fresh water, what is called bunkering takes place in the surrounding area. the corner in the industrial port of the cook's oven speed is also essential here if an alarm suddenly goes off hermann hems has to be ready pick up the equipment nothing is left lying around we always have to be ready for the next mission we don't know which one It will be involved so that the boat is always fully equipped as if it were new, the tasks are clearly distributed and the procedures are natural.

The kai ship engineer is responsible for refueling fuel and oil on board. The oil is supplied in canisters. Refueling is done by hand. engine oil we get 300 liters when we do an oil change we need it all so we take the cans and pour it into the tank there after about 20 minutes 300 liters of oil have been poured on the other side 3 000 liters of it is loading fuel on board at the same time that the kai ship engineer connects the fuel hose for the ship's diesel when we are refueling we have to make sure that we do not spill anything due to contamination we have to be careful that nothing happens while the hermann helms is refueling At Cook's Hoffen in front of the port of Hamburg everything revolves around the weather.

The German Meteorological Service closely monitors the situation on the coast and at sea from its offices here. Sudden changes in the weather can be dangerous, especially for smaller ships, An area of ​​low pressure can build up within a few hours and if Yard swims in the water he needs information quickly so he can get to land in time if necessary. If a storm is approaching, the German weather service issues warnings via various channels, of course. I'm thinking about boat safety and people's lives when I issue warnings, that's why you normally don't mindlessly issue warnings when you see a storm or intense low pressure system approaching, you're more likely to issue something. before because you know that there are lives. hurricanes may be at play when they pass through the sea things get hairy waves several meters high make the sea unpredictable dirk mulla and his wife live just behind the dike in cook's hoffen they have both been helped by marine rescuers before when it gets hermann hems we leave for a mission in rough seas the thoughts of the experienced sailors are with the crew we live directly behind the dike, maybe 400 meters from here, so when the search and rescue cruiser sets sail in case emergency, the noise carries through the levee to the first houses even in a storm or a hurricane, when you are lying in bed and the weather outside is horrible, it makes you think because you can imagine what is going on out there, especially At night, you don't want to be in their shoes, so you think.

About the people they are going to rescue is a completely different league when they go out the atmosphere in the port is relaxed Engineer Kai Ship is trying his hand at telecommunications and gets some useful advice from the neighbors He ties the rope around his neck when he climbs the ladder then it won't fall as far now the man is a real comic since you have your life jacket you will have to stretch it to the other side what is that? I have a life jacket on, man that's why they call it balls off the belt inside it smells like food the helmsman is cooking again today it's time to meet up I usually cook the mission is more important of course but we try to take care of ourselves the other advantage is that the cook doesn't wash the dishes the men take care of themselves and go shopping once a week if they receive an emergency call even a full shopping cart is abandoned lunch is a ritual with everyone sitting together at the table today it's a steak from savior of the sea a lot of meat on toast with mushrooms and onions at night everyone takes care of their own business and enjoys the privacy that is on board don't say that I have to cut that everyone has their own room here there are four of us during the day we take care of the boat at some point we finish the day, we are on board 24 hours a day ready and waiting, but the daily routine is very similar to that on land: breakfast, lunch, dinner and everyone does their own thing for the day. night, one reads, the other watches television. browse the internet the german weather service has issued a storm warning for the afternoon with force seven wind gusts at first this means nothing to the crew of the hammond hems the day comes to an end during the night a storm hits the coast a small sports boat rocks in the waves an emergency call comes in someone is in danger out there apparently a woman's operation scar has burst and she is bleeding a lot, so the marine rescuers call an emergency doctor the men don't They know exactly what awaits them The sea is rough The small boats are having difficulty maneuvering The wind is stormy We have been having gusts today They could have started with a wind force of two or three when they felt safe and then it went up to six or seven It is pitch black like Hermann's hems put to sea the crew can only see anything when it is completely dark on the bridge many ships are moving in the sea there is a risk of collision the port police are also on site but not can't do anything because the sea is too rough okay, come on I can't cross it's too rough we can only give you a little leeward to leeward means positioning the boat in the wind in front of the sports boat to protect it for the crew of the hermann hems that also means having than to use the daughter ship bina in the black knight the crew boards with emergency doctor kai the ships release the lock the daughter ship slides into the sea angry at hems hammond the men monitor the situation from the bridge and keep an eye on their surroundings Radar shows Bina approaching the boat in danger, the waves are high and the secondary boat has to make sure not to collide with the sports boat, a risky situation.

Our secondary ships just approached the other ship and transferred the doctor and probably one of us, but we couldn't. We wanted to bring the person here but we couldn't because of the waves, so we and the doctor went with our emergency backpack, which was very difficult. A 72-year-old patient was waiting for me on the boat she had fallen on. on board and could not breathe, she also suffered from anxiety the woman cannot stay on board the small boat she needs to go to the hospital but it is impossible to take the patient to the rescuers' boat in rough seas sports The captain of the boat also He is exhausted, he couldn't take it anymore.

He was almost at the limit. It's understandable. He was worried about his wife's injury. The next port is only a few nautical miles away, but the water is very shallow. The search and rescue cruise could run aground the crew decides which bina will accompany the ship in danger there we take her to the port with the secondary ship and transfer her to the emergency service for treatment the trip to the port is not easy due to the waves the hem hermann illuminates the water with his powerful searchlights the sports boat must also stay on course it was important for us to take care of the owner of the yacht i ordered him to follow bina there is almost a collision with the secondary boat when the boat in distress arrives too close the waves decrease in shallow water the secondary ship and the ship in distress arrive safely in port it looks good the Hermann hem is placed further from the coast the crew now illuminates the port police ship came into contact with the ship in distress ship but nothing appears to have been damaged the patient was also successfully transferred the patient was transferred to the ambulance our crew and the doctor are returning on board now around hermann's hems the sea is still rough and a strong wind is blowing bina returns to the Search and rescue cruiser and Frozen Anna have difficulty entering the narrow space at the stern.

The secondary ship has to hit the carriage to be lifted with skill and momentum. Ana Fruser steers the secondary boat aft of the Hammond helm. At 2.30 a.m. m., they return to their port of origin the night will be short but the sea rescuers are generally satisfied quite well the weather was a bit rough for such a small boat with a wave of one and a half meters things could have been different but we can be satisfied With the result, with that climate, things could have been very different. There is silence on board on the way back, everyone seems to be lost in their own thoughts.

What will the rest of the night hold for us and what will happen to the next day? The rescuers of the Hermann Hems. I don't know, but they will be there when help is needed and will come out to see when others are seeking safe haven.
