It was the cargo ship Ocean Honey, however, that arrive on the scene and plucked 13 fishermen from the water after their fishing boat, the Ta Fu #2 burned and sank. The Hong Kong flagged cargo ship enrolled in the Amver system in 1995. While the Ocean Honey is credited for the rescue, the M/V Umberto D’Amato, an Italian flagged Amver participant, was also diverted to assist.
Fortunately a sister ship of the fishing vessel was near the distress location and the Honey Ocean was able to transfer the 13 survivors to their sister ship.
Don’t forget, all month long, Amver is hosting the “I Am Amver” video project. You can read more about the project HERE and keep in mind that we are giving out free gCaptain swag to members who also submit their videos to the forum HERE.
