The crew of the Parthenon received the award for the daring rescue of four Swedish sailors off the coast of Portugal last September. You can see a video of the rescue here:
We congratulate the entire team at Tsakos shipping along with the crew of the Parthenon for a job well done. You deserve this award.
Has your ship been involved in a rescue at sea? If so send us pictures and video and we will be happy to put it up on the Amver blog.
