The Norwegian Gem Cruise Ship let a passenger off board on Saturday to obtain onshore medical attention following a fall that resulted in a potential head injury. The passenger was near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York and was removed just north of there. The injured passenger was taken to the Harbor Charlie Base, where emergency medical technicians were on hand to further transfer the patient to Richmond University Medical Center in West Brighton. The U.S Coast Guard and New York Police Department were all notified and involved in the transfer.
Harbor Charlie, which is a patrol boat that was on duty at the time, was operated by a crew of police officers who made the decision of using the area north of the bridge had ideal conditions for removing the passenger. The removal was deemed “high risk transfer of an injured person,” which requires the pilot of the smaller boat to “lay up” against the larger vessel to enable transfer. The passenger was then transferred on a backboard from the ship to the smaller vessel. The passenger is still admitted at the hospital and the extent of the cruise ship injury is being monitored by the facility.
