Welcome Wednesday!
Look who enrolled in Amver! That's right, you can see your ship's name here too. All you need to do is join the Amver network. What's that? You subscribe to a commercial vessel tracking service? Talk to them and see if they partner with us. If your company uses Transas, Pole Star, or Marine Track you can have your vessel reports send to Amver automatically. If you use a different vessel tracking company we can likely find a solution and have you reporting to Amver automatically. Just ask your service provider to contact the Amver office. In the meantime, help us welcome the latest members of the Amver family.- AFRICAN HORNBILL

Amver Awards given at SMM
690 German ships earned Amver awards in 2011 and many of the recipients were on hand to receive their awards on September 5, 2012. The Amver team was at SMM to present the awards at an event that included members of the U.S. Commercial Service, Berlin and the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance.
Congratulations to the German shipping community for a job well done! We look forward to meeting more award recipients at SMM 2014!

Welcome Wednesday!
29 ships enrolled in Amver last week. There's not much more to say but thank you. If your vessels aren't part of the Amver system, you should consider enrolling. Why should you participate in Amver? Because your vessel may be the only thing between life and death for a fellow mariner. Now, help us welcome the latest members of the Amver safety network.

Amver Awards in the Bahamas
The USCG created an annual Amver Awards Program as a way of rewarding those ships which remain "on plot" for at least 128 days in a calendar year. Amver awards are a tribute to the support of a ship's crew, management, and ownership, which is so integral to the program's success. The basic premise of Amver is that it serves as a vehicle for mariners to help each other without regard to nationality.
The companies recognized during the Amver awards ceremony at the U.S. Embassy included Campbell Shipping Company Ltd. and Clipper Group Ltd. Each company representative was presented with a Letter of Appreciation, a Certificate of Merit to each ship, and a colored Amver pennant, representing a ship's continuous participation in the program.
In 2011, The Bahamas received twenty-three blue pennants, denoting that a vessel completed its first year of participation and is being honored for the first time.

Welcome Wednesday!
We recently had an opportunity to visit the Russian Port of Dudinka where several Norilsk Nickel ships load and unload cargo. One of the vessels is named "Hope" (Nadezhda). Hope is what you provide to mariners in distress at sea. 28 more vessels have enrolled in Amver. Those are 28 more chances for hope to those lost at sea. Help us welcome them.- AM BREMEN
