**Title: Urgent Medical Evacuation of Crew Member from Tanker 'Opal' Near A Coruña** **Content:** In a remarkable display of coordination, the Centro de Coordinación de Salvamento Marítimo (CCS) in Fisterra orchestrated a critical medical evacuation for a crew member aboard the tanker 'Opal' on the early morning of April 14, 2026. The incident unfolded approximately 190 nautical miles north of the bustling port city of A Coruña, where the man suffered serious burn injuries while en route from Vistino. The alert regarding the situation was raised on April 13 at 1:00 p.m. Initially, the responsibility for the rescue was handed over to the United Kingdom Rescue Coordination Centre (UKMRCC) due to the tanker operating outside of Spain's Search and Rescue (SAR) zone. However, the captain made the pivotal decision to navigate back towards Spanish waters for the medical evacuation. Once contact was re-established with Salvamento Marítimo, swift action was taken to deploy the Helimer 402 search and rescue helicopter, complemented by the Sasemar 101 surveillance aircraft. The crew's rapid response ensured that the patient was safely hoisted aboard the helicopter. By approximately 03:15 a.m. on April 14, the Helimer 402 landed in A Coruña, where an ambulance awaited to transport the injured crew member to a medical facility for urgent treatment. This successful evacuation emphasizes the importance of swift maritime rescue operations and international cooperation in addressing emergencies at sea.

The "Meganisi", while departing Tracy, sustained a bridge control failure, causing the main engine to shut down, on Dec 8, 2018 at 10.50 p.m. enroute to Gibraltar.

The "Meganisi" allided with a pier at the Jose Venezuela Terminal on Aug 25, 2018, during mooring operations upon arrival from Corpus Christi with a cargo of naphtha. The vessel was proceeding to the South Pier to berth as instructed, with a pilot on board and three tugs assisting. As the vessel was smoothly moving into position alongside the pier, it touched a fender which collapsed upon contact. The berthing was aborted, and the vessel was instructed by the Terminal to move to a different berth. The tanker was then moved to Jose's East dock for discharging. The allision shut the South dock, one of Jose Offshore Platform's three oil berths, East, West and South, used to ship crude oil from the Orinoco Belt, Venezuela's main producing region, and to discharge imported diluents. Jose also has two monobuoy systems, which continued operating normally.
