Computer Provides Data On Location Of Ships With Medical Equipment AMER
In a North Atlantic rescue, a nine year old boy aboard the freighter Wolverine State suffers suspected appendicitis. The captain radios the Coast Guard, AMVER identifies the Bremen as best aid, and a rapid evacuation is coordinated by AMVER, saving the boy's life with doctored ships within 200 miles. The system, run by the U S Coast Guard, links 800 ships from 61 nations and plans rescues across the North Atlantic coast-to-coast.
