AndyMichelle Posted December 17, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It seems Ventura has not got very far tonight. Search and rescue has been deployed and I believe the ship has turned around? I hope every one is safe and its a false alarm or something... Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted December 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The Gosport Lifeboat is right behind her. Maybe somebody went overboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted December 17, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Helicopter overhead as well. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-1.195/centery:50.766/zoom:14 Chopper is hovering just above the ship. Must be a passenger with a life threatening situation. Edited December 17, 2021 by jeanlyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted December 17, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Chopper just left doing 30 knots. Maybe we will hear from somebody what happened. One of the ship boats is still in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted December 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2021 More inclined to think the chopper took someone off the ship to hospital. Ventura is now steaming away at 14 knots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
