Yesterday the Titan / NSRI team flew a 29 mile round trip from their base in Table Bay to evacuate a 52 year old bosun from the ship Hebei Forest. Having complained of chest pains for the past five days it was suspected that he had suffered a heart attack. The man was able to walk to the helicopter which had landed on the ship. He was checked out by a METRO paramedic and on landing back at the Titan base, was taken to hospital by the ships agent.
