Welcome Wednesday!


25 vessels joined the Amver ranks this past week. What's the value of that? Considering the recent cases (here and here) where Amver ships have made the difference between life and death the value becomes glaringly evident. While Amver remains voluntary, participation should be considered by every shipping company that wishes to promote their dedication to safety.

Here are our newest ships:
  • GULOYA
  • CLIPPER TITAN
  • PELICAN STATE
  • BLUE HERON
  • VICTORIA SCAN
  • CORAL DIAMOND
  • HYUNDAI SINGAPORE
  • ARDEA
  • KINAROS
  • ANKARA BRIDGE
  • CLIPPER MIKI
  • SUMMIT AUSTRALIA
  • SALTINA
  • ABADI
  • PLUTO LEADER
  • KING WHEAT
  • SUNSHINE ACE
  • CLIPPER MAKISHIO
  • UBC MARIEL
  • ORAWA
  • CONTI BENGUELA
  • AMBER BALTIC
  • TH SOUND
  • AMAZON GLADIATOR
  • SPOT
Congratulations new Amver members. You have joined a unique and elite group of ships. You may be called upon to assist another mariner in distress. You are now part of a global effort to make sure no call for help goes unanswered.
