A Zoleo user triggered his SOS button, connecting him immediately with Global Rescue operations experts. Rescue team members learned the individual was sailing a 23-foot sailboat in the North Atlantic Ocean. A storm struck, and he lost the ability to steer. “My sailboat rudder broke off. I’m in a storm. Need to abandon ship. I’m the only crew onboard.” Global Rescue operations notified the U.S. Coast Guard, relayed details of the incident and coordinated rescue efforts. The member stayed in constant contact with Global Rescue operations and relayed he had a sustained a head injury and his life raft had been washed away. Global Rescue operations coordinated with the coast guard, and identified a ship that could reach him in four hours (he was beyond helicopter range) and the vessel plotted a course to his location. The member was rescued successfully and treated for his injuries.
