He is, without a doubt, the youngest passenger of the Ocean Company! A baby was born in the Breizh Nevez, a ro-ro from Groix, which ensured the crossing to the continent, this Wednesday, November 27, more precisely in the fire ambulance which was in the garage, as revealed by the newspaper Ouest-France. The mother, who was grizzled, felt contractions around three in the morning. The Dragon 56 civil security helicopter is unavailable at this time and the SNSM (National Sea Rescue Society) launch, which provides support, could set off but the sea conditions were too dangerous for the mother, on the point of giving birth. “There were hollows of three or four meters and the launch is 30 years old, it is not made for medical transport. There are employment limits. We had to preserve the mother,” explains Thierry Diméet, president of the SNSM of the country of Lorient. “She had to wait for the first available means of transport: namely the 6:50 a.m. boat,” reports the Compagnie Océane, which says it does not remember a birth on the boat. “It is still very rare that the helicopter and the SNSM speedboat are not available,” comments Compagnie Océane.
A subscription to Compagnie Océane?
The mother therefore gave birth in the fire ambulance. On the quay, in Lorient, the Smur was waiting for him and medicalized the baby named Bastien and his mother to the maternity ward of the Scorff hospital. So, will this newborn baby named Bastien benefit from a lifetime subscription as is customary in transport? “We can't because we are a public service delegate and the contract ends in 2030 and we have free service for up to 4 years. But we are thinking about what we could do as a present,” says the Compagnie Océane, which sent its congratulations to the happy but surely upset young parents.
