Hospitalsskib på værft i Portland

Det store amerikanske hospitalsskib USNS Mercy, der af Trump blev kommanderet til Grønland for at rette op på manglende danske omsorg for den grønlændernes sundhed, er efter en lang sejlads fra Mobile på USA's østkyst, nu ankommet til Vigor Industrial skibsværft i Portland på vestkysten.

Her forventes hospitalsskibet at gennemgå et flere måneder langt eftersyn, hvilket udelukker en snarlig mission til Grønland.

Mindre udfordringer, som at USNS Mercy er ikke isforstærket, ingen erfaring har med arktiske operationer, og at den grønlandske havneinfrastruktur vil udgøre betydelig udfordringer for et skib af dens størrelse - ufortalt.

USNS Mercy tiltrak sig global opmærksomhed, efter at præsident Donald Trump på Truth Social meddelte, at hospitalsskibet var "på vej" til Grønland.

Hospitalsskibet drives af den amerikanske flådes Military Sealift Command, og er et af to amerikanske hospitalsskibe der kan rumme op til 1.000 patienter og er udstyret med 12 operationsstuer.
