Welcome Wednesday!

Did you miss us last week? We were on the road in the Barents Sea touring the Prirazlomnoye oil platform . But, here is the list of the vessels that enrolled in Amver in the past two weeks. Our trip to the Arctic reinforced our position that the Arctic is a lonely and potentially dangerous place with limited search and rescue resources. Those lack of resources is the very reason we need more ships to enroll in Amver and actively report while sailing in Arctic waters.

In the meantime help us welcome the latest members of the Amver family.

Amver cruise ship assists in rescue of 102 in Alaska

The Amver participating cruise ship Statendam assisted in the rescue of 102 sightseers from a disabled tour boat near John Hopkins Glacier, Alaska on Friday, August 2, 2013.

The sightseeing boat Baranof Wind suffered mechanical problems and alerted rescue authorities of their situation. The Statendam, an Amver participant since 1993, diverted to the location and used its tenders to embark all of the tourists. The Statendam brought the tourists to Bartlett Cove and resumed its scheduled voyage.

The cruise ship Statendam, managed by Holland America Line, has earned 17 Amver awards for participation.
