Four crew members of the oil tanker M/V Daibelli were air‑rescued by the United States Coast Guard from a vessel located one nautical mile south of Vieques. The incident occurred on Sunday morning after the ship’s captain reported a suspected food‑borne illness among the crew. The rescue was carried out by a team from the Borinquen Air Station aboard an MH‑60T Jayhawk helicopter. Lieutenant Stan Raymond, the co‑pilot of the operation, said the tanker’s structure posed a technical challenge for the extraction, but coordinated maneuvers allowed a safe point to be established on the deck for the hoist. After being removed from the tanker, the four affected crew members were transported to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, where local paramedics provided initial care before they were admitted to a hospital in the municipality of Carolina.
