Amver awards in Norway

The most recent Amver awards ceremony was held in Norway several weeks ago.
The Norwegian Shipowners Association hosted the ceremony at their headquarters next to Oslo city hall on June 8th. Attended by nine ship-owners, with speeches given by Norwegian Shipowners Association Director and Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission James T. Heg, the event celebrated the strong ties between the United States and Norway.

Rick Button, Chief of the United States Coast Guard Office of Search and Rescue Coordination Division presented the awards.

We are thankful for Norway's participation in the Amver system. Your vessels could be earning Amver awards. How? Just enroll and start reporting!
