Ballycotton RNLI lifeboat launched to French fishing vessel seeking medical assistance for one of its crewmembers

A 24 metre French fishing vessel contacted the coast guard seeking medical assistance for one of its crewmembers.  Ballycotton RNLI lifeboat was requested to launch and rendezvoused with the fishing vessel 4 miles south of Ballycotton at 03:20.

The fishing vessel was escorted into the calmer waters of Ballycotton bay.  A lifeboat crewmember was placed aboard the fishing vessel to assess the situation and assist in the transfer of the casualty to the Ballycotton lifeboat.  He was landed ashore at Ballycotton pier at 04:00 where an ambulance was waiting to removed him to hospital.
