United States Coast Guard rescue officials in New Orleans, La. received a notification from the captain of the Amver participating cruise ship Carnival Sunrise that the ship was on scene with a 44-foot disabled ketch and passing fuel and lube oil.
The Bahamian flagged cruise ship was able to pass along oil and fuel and continue on its voyage. The crew of the sailboat were instructed by the Coast Guard to activate their Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) if they require additional assistance.
The sailboat was able to continue on its voyage to Tampa, Fla. and the Carnival Sunrise returned to port. The Carnival Sunrise enrolled in Amver on February 24, 1999 and has earned 20 Amver participation awards.
