The crew of the Amver participating tanker Delta Kanaris received recognition for their rescue of four French sailors in late February over 1,000 miles east of Puerto Rico. We blogged about the rescue a few days ago.
As the Delta Kanaris pulled into the Port of Philadelphia, U.S. Coast Guard personnel were there to recognize the efforts of Captain Georgios Vatsas and his crew. Representatives from Sunoco and Delta Tankers were on hand for the presentation of a certificate of appreciation and an Amver pennant.
