Greetings Interferry members,
Please find below a request from the IMO for submissions for its 2019 Exceptional Bravery at Sea Award.
I am personally aware of a number of selfless acts crews from our various member companies undertake each year to save souls from the perils of the sea.
Since the core value of Interferry and the ferry industry is the safety of our passengers and crew, I would encourage as many of you as possible to to complete the application form (as described in the links below) which Interferry would be then pleased to submit to the IMO on your behalf.
Sincerely,
Mike Corrigan – CEO, Interferry
