The Coast Guard airlifted a tanker crewmember by helicopter over 500 miles southwest of Kodiak on Thursday.
The 47-year-old man had been found unconscious and required medical attention.
A call for assistance was placed from the 422-foot Maltese-flagged Murray Star to Coast Guard District 17 at 9:14 a.m. An MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was dispatched for the medevac, flying 345 miles to refuel at Sand Point then continuing the rest of the way to the ship.
The patient was safely hoisted aboard the helicopter at 4:15 p.m., flown to Sand Point and then to Anchorage for more treatment.
The cause and extent of his condition were not reported.
