A coast guard helicopter aboard the Cutter Sherman medevaced a crewmember from the DS Patriot to the Iliuliuk Family and Health Services Clinic in Unalaska Wednesday night. 

The 33-year old man was reportedly suffering from symptoms of pneumonia.

The container ship did not dock in Dutch Harbor, but according to Lieutenant Chris O’Connor, it sailed within 60 miles of the port so the man could be airlifted from the vessel.

EMS personnel transported the man to the health clinic.  He has since been flown to Anchorage for further medical treatment.
