On May 22 the crew of the Nordic Mistress made a mayday call reporting they were sinking. The Nordic Mistress skipper told Sector Anchorage command center they were abandoning ship and needed Coast Guard assistance. After the Nordic Mistress crew made the mayday call, about 45 minutes later, a Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and crew arrived on scene to safely hoist all five survivors from a life raft and took them to Kodiak.
