Puma deck-landings on small ships?

I was interested to see on CNN coverage of the USS John McCain collision that some injured survivors were being bought ashore with a Singapore Air Force Puma.

I thought Puma was considered too wobbly (for want of a better word) to land on small ships? Or are such restrictions waived in these circumstances?

Possibly it picked the injured up from somewhere else - but that seems an odd logistic.
