M/V “DORIAN’’ - Rescue Operation area). Once on board, the crew took care<br />
One of our crew managed vessels,<br />
the M/V “Dorian”, was able to<br />
react to the call for help from a stricken<br />
passenger ship. As the Master reported,<br />
the crew managed to rescue 75 persons<br />
that were on board. A rescue operation<br />
via life boat would have been nearly<br />
impossible due to high risks. Luckily the<br />
other vessel was a “jumping” distance and<br />
M/V “Dorian” was able to maintain<br />
safety maneuvering without destroying/<br />
damaging each other. The operation<br />
lasted for 30 minutes; the crew reacted in<br />
a professional and organized way, with all<br />
hands standing a line, pulling the persons<br />
on board from the stricken ship. It seems<br />
that the passengers had been already quite<br />
some time under stress and some of their<br />
reactions were not predictable (all this<br />
happened at the perimeter of a pirate<br />
25<br />
of all the rescued people, supplying them<br />
with food and beverages and comic<br />
videos for the children.<br />
We would like to congratulate the crew<br />
members of M/V “Dorian” for their<br />
successful rescue operation.<br />
