A 53-year-old Italian crew member was medically evacuated from the 'Costa Deliziosa' on Oct 31, 2026, after suffering a cardiac ischaemia shortly after the cruise ship had departed from Trieste at the start of a 7-night Eastern Mediterranean cruise. The vessel was about five nautical miles off the port, when the incident prompted a rescue operation, which was coordinated by the Trieste Coast Guard. Following a request for assistance, the Coast Guard contacted the ship’s doctor to assess the crew member and coordinate the medevac. The doctor approved the transfer and accompanied him aboard the rescue boat until he could be handed over to emergency medical personnel. The patrol boat 'CP 2084' was dispatched to the ship, while an ambulance was arranged to meet it at the Coast Guard dock. The crew member was stabilised and brought ashore, where the emergency medical team was waiting. He was subsequently taken to Cattinara Hospital in Trieste.
