Translated video description:

The first Saturday of the new year

Following good tradition, it was the practice day with the colleagues of KNRM Westkapelle (boat Uly).

A collision had taken place on the Straffe Hendrik before this scenario. 1 crew member had fallen overboard and was unconscious. Someone had a severe head injury and the third was very confused.

In no time, the lifeboat Uly had located the drowning man and took him on board. From the Sterken Dries, 2 rescuers were placed on the incident ship to assess the situation and stabilise the victims. Meanwhile, the helicopter from @koksijde had also arrived. Due to resuscitation on the Uly, 2 persons from the nh90 were lowered onto the Sterken Dries who then dropped them off on the Uly to assist and take the casualty to hospital.

Meanwhile, the Sterken Dries sailed back to the incident ship. Both victims were assisted onto the lifeboats and safely transported to the port.

This successful exercise was followed by a warm reunion with our KNRM friends from Westkapelle. The year thus started well again!
