Antipaxos Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

The bulk carrier 'Antipaxos', sailing from Santos to Singapore, made a significant detour on May 10, 2026, to perform a crucial medical evacuation near Jamestown, St. Helena. Cape Town Radio issued an urgent PAN PAN signal, notifying nearby vessels of a crew member's severe need for medical oxygen while positioned in the South Atlantic. Reacting swiftly to the emergency, the Antipaxos altered its course to head directly towards St. Helena. On May 18, shortly after 1 p.m., the vessel approached from the South-South West and navigated around South-West Point, arriving approximately 1.2 nautical miles from shore at about 3:06 p.m. Local emergency services boarded the ship to assist with the evacuation, transferring the patient to a hospital for urgent care.
