The coveted Green Amver Pennant was recently awarded at the IHS Fairplay Safety at Sea International Awards aboard the HMS Belfast in London. The award was given to the Bermuda Container Lines M/V Oleander for a daring November, 2011 rescue of four sailors in the Atlantic.
Congratulations to the management and crew of the Oleander for a job well done. A special thanks to IHS Fairplay Safety at Sea International for their steadfast support of Amver through the years. Finally, thank to U.S. Coast Guard Lieutenant Sean Jehu for taking time from flying rescue missions in Cornwall to help present this award.
