Dear Sir,
Thank you for your letter which I received today. We have discussed the situation regarding Third Officer Victor Belov and would advise you to alter course for Portsmouth as soon as possible.
You should get the injured man ashore as soon as possible. He needs to see a doctor. In the meantime, I advise you to make the patient comfortable. He must not move. You should continue to give him painkillers until we see him.
I can meet you when the vessel is alongside in Portsmouth. I have arranged for an ambulance to meet us for transfer to the nearest hospital.
Please advise the agent in Portsmouth to contact me with the estimated time of arrival.
Best regards,
Dr. H. Evans.
