On Nov 19, 2022, the US Coast Guard medevaced a 45-year-old man from the 'Crudesun' 11 miles offshore Port Aransas, Texas. Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi command center watchstanders received a call at 4:23 p.m. from the crew of the tanker, stating a crew member was experiencing symptoms of a stroke. Watchstanders consulted with the duty flight surgeon, who recommended a medevac. A Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew launched to conduct the medevac. Once on scene, the helicopter crew hoisted the ailing man and transferred him to CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi in stable condition.
