"RESCUE 10 was activated at approximately 1730H on 9 November 2024 to evacuate a crewman on board a bulk carrier, who required urgent medical attention. 

At the point of activation, the bulk carrier was approximately 60 nautical miles off the coast of Singapore. The RESCUE 10 medical team monitored his vitals en route to Singapore General Hospital (SGH), and he was conscious and stable when handed over to SGH medical staff. 

In 2024, RESCUE 10 had responded successfully to 7 activations thus far and will continue to stand ready in responding to life-saving missions."
