BIMCO 2015 Awards

BIMCO president Philippe Louis-Dreyfus has chosen to give public recognition to all seafarers who have been – and still are – involved in rescuing people in distress at sea. Louis-Dreyfus awarded the BIMCO President’s Award to Columbia Shipmanagement Hamburg, for its “outstanding” work in rescue operations involving migrant boats in the Mediterranean. He asked Captain Horber from Columbia Shipmanagement to accept the award on behalf of its crews, but also on behalf of all seafarers who risk their lives in rescue operations.
