Welcome Wednesday!

Have you enrolled in Amver? We often ask why you haven't. Today we're asking why you decided to join. Is it because of company tradition? Did you learn about us at a maritime academy? Did a more seasoned officer mention "We always report to Amver." Did someone in a shore side office say you needed to enroll? Let us know in the comments. And help us welcome the latest members of the Amver safety network.

A system that continues to prove it is ready, relevant and responsive. Now, help us welcome the latest Amver participants.

Indonesian Teen Rescued By Amver Bulk Carrier

An Indonesian teen who had been adrift on a fishing raft for 49 days was rescued near Guam by the Amver participating bulk carrier Arpeggio on Friday, August 31, 2018.

According to an Associated Press article the teen was rescued by the Panamanian-flagged ship about 1,200 miles from his original location. The teen used his hand held radio to contact the 738-foot ship which heard his distress call, alerted rescue authorities and embarked the survivor. The crew of the Arpeggio provided food, water and first aid.

The captain of the Arpeggio coordinated the rescue with authorities in Japan and the Indonesian mission. The teen was disembarked in Japan and reunited with his family.

The Arpeggio, which is managed by MC Shipping Ltd of Japan, enrolled in Amver on December 16, 2013 and has earned two Amver participation awards.
