On May 7, 2016, the U.S. Coast Guard successfully evacuated a 68-year-old Croatian crew member from the bulk carrier 'Atlantic Tramp' approximately 110 miles east of Virginia Beach. The evacuation followed an alarming response received at the Coast Guard 5th District Command Center in Portsmouth around 7:45 p.m. on May 6. The crew member exhibited troubling symptoms such as unconsciousness, memory loss, impaired balance, slurred speech, and facial drooping, raising serious concerns for his health. Given the risks of conducting a long-haul medevac operation under the cover of darkness, the Coast Guard made the decision to initiate the rescue at dawn. Meanwhile, the 'Atlantic Tramp' adjusted its course toward the shore while closely monitoring the crew member's deteriorating condition. At 6:45 a.m. on May 7, an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter team from Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina took off and arrived at the scene around 7:45 a.m. The aircrew successfully hoisted the crew member and transported him to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, where he was reported in stable condition by 8:20 a.m. This incident highlights the Coast Guard's commitment to providing timely medical assistance in maritime emergencies.

The incident has left the 'Atlantic Tramp' with a substantial 10-meter gash on its port side, situated about six meters above the waterline, alongside a dent of around 15 meters at the stern. Additionally, the vessel's bridge wing suffered damage during the collision.
