-Commended for Rescue of Shipwrecked Seafarers off Guam-

September 14, 2015

TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President: Junichiro Ikeda) today announced that its operated bulker Tohmisan Maru received the AFRAS AMBER Award at the AFRAS Annual Awards Ceremony for 2015 held in Washington D.C. on September 9.

The AFRAS AMVER Award is presented by the Association for Rescue at Sea, Inc. (AFRAS), an organization made up of retired members of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy. The award honors the merchant vessel that made the most remarkable rescue effort during the previous year.

The Tohmisan Maru (called the C.S. Sunshine at the time) rescued 24 Chinese seafarers whose cargo ship was taking on water 700km west of Guam on January 20, 2014.
